Hi.I am RN from Israel. I applied for examination in CA board and I passed NCLEX 10 months ago. I have SSN, so I got my CA RN license .Now I live in NY. I checked all information how to get RN license in NY. I started CVS process in Israel. NY board of nursing received all my documents from CGFNS and approved my education .NY board required nurse form- 3 from CA. I sent this form to CA with 60$ payment 11 weeks ago.The cashed the money after 4 weeks . I called to CA board every 3-4 days, I sent messages by email in order to check my status and I asked to sent the form 3 to NY as fast as possible. I live in USA 3 months without incomes. I need this license to start my work as RN. .During this time the operators took my telephone number several times, nobody called me back. Today they explained me that they sent the documents to ICHP organization because I "asked to do this" and "I sent the Visa verification document".They told me that I didn't sent them the right paper. They transfer the payment to this organization. I never heard about this organization, I even don't know how does this document look.
I didn't sent it to CA.
First of all- I don't need this , I have visa. CGFNS already did his work- transferring my documents to NY.
I tried to explained it to them, it didn't help. I asked to send me the copy of document that I "sent" to them . They don't have it.
Now I need to send the nurse form - 3 again to CA , to pay again 60 $ , I will wait for cashing the money a month and after this the process will take another additional 6 weeks!!!!
It is not my fault !! They did same mistake. I cried all day. I don't know what to do. I need to work. I have 2 children..
Maybe I need to take a lawyer ? I have all my email messages I sent to CA , during 2 months I asked them the same simple question: "When will you sent the nurse form-3 to NY?" Nobody told me about ICHP.
I found their website, their list of fees, I don't see the process of 60 $..
Please help me. sorry for my english and long message. I'm frustrated and helpless....
Maybe I didn't explain it correctly, CA board cashed the money for themself for the process which they did to ICHP.My case in CGFNS already closed, because I asked for CVS to NY department, so all my documents are in NY department, they approved my education, they need only form- 3 from CA. Where can I check information about temporary permit? I found information only about limited permits;
Limited Permits
Note: If you have ever taken the NCLEX-PN examination, you are not eligible for an LPN limited permit. If you have ever taken the NCLEX-RN examination, you are not eligible for an RN limited permit.
It is not for me, I already passed the Nclex examination.
Oh, I'm sorry what I meant is temporary license which is entirely different with IP Interim permit. You can find that information at the bottom of your application form you fill out for NY BON. When I passed my NLEX-RN, I was hired immediately so I asked Hawaii BON if I can work since I'm just waiting for the permanent license to be sent to me. They gave me a form which my employer have to sign after that I was able to get the temporary license on the same day. It is good for three months. Try to ask NY BON. Goodluck and God bless!!

CA are in the wrong sending it to ICHP especially if you indicated on the license verification forum to send it to NY. You could contact ICHP and see if they have the said document and ask whether they could forward it to NY BON due to the mistake by CA BRN.
Silverdragon,I already contacted ICHP/CGFNS,they explained to me that all documents they receive with my name - they don't need them, maybe they will transfer it to NY, because all my documents are in NY now, maybe not...
NY department wants to see this application and then decides if this document is good for my license, but this document addresses to ICHP and NY wants it for NY department.
I'm so sorry Zivka for all the trouble that you're having through California. I hope you get it resovled ASAP so you can start working. It's frustrating when you have your hands tied and there's nothing you can do to speed up the process.
