Foreign-educated nurse in IL

[elenakauffman]

Hello, I'm foreign-educated nurse (Russia)

I'm waiting for CGFNS evaluation - it already took 8 months, they send 5 letters to my school - all with wrong addresses. Anyway, hopefully I'll get it soon. Please answer if IL Nursing Board will also need any additional proofs of my credentials/cleasses/credits/etc.? I've heard NY board did not give permission after CGFNS evaluation and send additional requestsv to school...does it happen to all boards in all cases? I'm US citizen it it's important and need no visa support.

Thanks a lot!

Let me move this to the International Forum as in the IL nurses forum you are only going to find those of us that live in IL but (usually) have no idea what the requirements for a foreign-educated RN are.....
