Got my VT License!!

Published

Hi all! just want to share with you my experience on how I received my VT license. Today, as I regularly check VT website about the status of my application, it was such a blessing to see my name on the list of licensed nurse of VT.

To some who have been sending me pm's on the status and how I did about the application to VT and CA application expiring on Jan 20.... Here's the summary:

December 15, 2007: submitted "verification of license" form and an explanation letter with $60 check.....

-----CHECK NOT YET CLEARED AS OF THIS TIME

December 18, 2007: Submitted application to VT with $150 check

MISTAKE: didn't include CA pass letter

December 24, 2007 : VT received application and fees

------ CHECK GOT CLEARED

January 4, 2008: Sent CA BON request for extension of CA-RN application sent thru email, mail and fax

------ NO REPLY

January 8, 2008: Sent VT pass letter from CA

*** EMAILED THEM EVERY WEEK SINCE THEN IF THEY RECEIVED MY PASS LETTER

January 15, 2008: CA bon answered my email and asked if did I sent $10 payment for the transfer of NCLEX results to VT

January 16, 2008: Sent CA bon request for test scores for VT with $10

January 23, 2008: received an email that VT received pass letter

January 24, 2008: VT issued my license:w00t:

I email CA bon almost every 2 days just to know the status of my requests and application.... I got tired of calling them since they only give information based on what they see on the computer and up to now they are telling me that they haven't received any of my request. My CA application is now expired and I don't know if my extension was granted.

I just want to share this to people having the same problems..... VT does not require anything coming from CA Bon. All you need is the pass letter and the application based from my experience.

Thank you to all the advices. This forum is such a blessing to me.

original post from fruity:

"request the director of your school of nursing (or other authorized officer) to complete the

“verification of education” form, and return the form along with a certified copy of your

transcript and clinical transcripts/related learning experience. (

not required for applicant’s

applying with cgfns certificate)"

i saw this on vt bon website so i decided to submit cgfns certificate so i don't have to go back and request the school for the other forms.

shier:

hi mabelle im also planning to apply a license to vt.. i don't have a cgfns certificate like fruity yet, so that means i have to request my school again for the requirements..:cry:

im stuck on her first step :o

after i got my VT license for example & then there's a sudden turn of events(a miracle happened & retrogression is lifted) & I want to work in CA right away, will an employer allow me while im processing my re-endorsement to CA from VT? Ok, I have the situation as most nurses here in this forum wherein my CA NCLEX will be expiring too & no SSN. I want to endorse it to VT instead of waiting for the CA BON to grant me an extension. Waiting means there will less time for me to think of an alternative then at end they won't give me any. I also have a tourist visa. In other words, if I possess a VT license, & I want to work in CA, will I be able to work as soon as possible & wait for the re-endorsement to CA or should i wait for the reendorsement to finish first before I work?

A response would be greatly appreciated.

What if i applied for sponsorship using my CA NCLEX coz i want to work in CA & then i endorsed it to VT, would there be any conflict?

God bless & more power to us all!!!:bow:

Ca will not give you a license straight away unless you give them a SSN so working in Ca on VT license will not be possible. You will have to wait before working in Ca

You have no Ca license to endorse so usually need to apply for application by exam and meet BON requirements. Looking at 2-6 months depending on how busy they are. If you have a sponsor in Ca and then look to working elsewhere a lot will depend also on what sort of contract you have signed

hello, my license of origin(phil) has already expired but I have renewed it, I don't have a copy yet. It will take 2 months.

Is it okay to pass the application with you current license expired or must you wait for the new license to arrive before submitting to vermont?

thank you
