Foreign educated nurse

Published

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a good day! I came here in Massachusetts under K1 Visa. Before coming here I have already printed out the papers I needed for CGFNS and submitted it to my School and PRC (Professional Regulation Commission) in the Philippines. My concerns are :

1. The Papers that I filled up for CGFNS is under my maiden name, and now that I'm married I am worried if I can still proceed for the NCLEX Application now that I'm using my married name.

2. I am going to process my NCLEX application here in Massachusetts, I heard that once you pass NCLEX you have to take a refresher course, is it true?

Thank You So much! I hope you guys can help me!

You should have no issues, just submit a copy of your marriage certificate to cgfns

I would check out the BON website in regards to a nurse refresher course or ask them
