Foreign graduate (Philippines) living in Wisconsin

[langz9]

Hi everybody. I'm new here so I'm really hoping somebody can answer my Questions.

I graduated in the Philippines and had my license there last 2010. Now i'm planning to take the Nclex here in Wisconsin, I'm resident here. I dont know where to start. Do i really need to take the CGNFS qualifying exam and TOEFL? some of the forums I read, I don't need to since I'm here already and we used English in our school. But i Really wanna make sure before my money gets wasted. What will I do First? i Saw some forms for Foreign graduates in DSPS but no exact instruction what to do. I Emailed some people I saw from a forum and they have the same problem. they don't know either. I called the BON and Department of safety and proffesional services a couple of times already but they just passed me around and end up with their voicemail. so i tried to read a lot of forums but still I can't get any answer.

thank you. hope somebody can help me..

You have to pass cgfns first and take english exam just call cgfns and you will start right ...then you apply for nursing board and take nclex

I'm also a permanent resident currently living in Madison. Right now, I'm scheduled for a CGFNS exam on November. I've enrolled for a CP (Certification Program) in CGFNS which means I have to take the qualifying exam and English proficiency test. Next step will be applying for WI BON and NCLEX exam. I know this is a whole lot of hassle, but this is the only way we can be licensed in Wisconsin.
