[nich]

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!!!

I understand from the cgfns website that an english exam (TOEFL/IELTS) is not required for the ces service but only for cp and visascreen. But, if you mean sending TOEFL score report directly to CTS in IL as part of the licensure requirements, then you just need to request ETS online to send a TOEFL score report to CTS (fee, i think, is $17 per score report). TOEFL score report is valid for two years only.

btw, for your visascreen later on, you need to also have a score report of the speaking portion of the english exam (if your current TOEFL does not have one). you can choose between TSE and TOEFL iBT (or IELTS if you prefer).

goodluck!
