Hi! I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines. I really decided to join this website because I have so many questions in mind that is bothering me right at this moment. This is regarding my plans of working in Illinois. I will be taking the CGFNS exam this July. In God's grace to pass, I'm planning to take IELTS exam and apply for an NCLEX examination. I would just like to ask an advice from you if what exam should I take first? Is it the IELTS or apply first to NCLEX? And how many months does this application will be approved by the Illinois BON? Because I've heard from my friends that it will took us a couple of months for our application to be approved by the Illinois BON for us to take the NCLEX exam. Is it true? Thanks ahead for your reply... God bless!!!

give the CT-NUR form to PRC.. they will be the one to forward it to CTS... that is, if you already have your license number with you...

How will I apply...I don't know the step by step...

you can pass the application to IL though you havent taken the toefl yet... and the CES.. make sure that the recipients of your toefl results are the CTS and CGFNS/ICHP...

if the results of toefl and ces are already there (CTS), they will determine if you are eligible to sit for an exam

i suggest.. you take the toefl-ibt and apply for CES.. then apply to IL and review for nclex..
