hi everyone!

clearly i am new here and all of these forums are too many for me to read...

i am truly sorry for asking questions i know have been answered over and over again.... but here goes nothing:

1. as a newly graduated and licensed nurse in the philippines, which exams whould and should i take??

a. toefl - tse or ielts ?

b. [color=#ff0000]cgfns ?

c. [color=#ff0000]nclex - rn ?

2. i heard rumors that you do not need to take [color=#ff0000]cgfns anymore... is this true?

3. but why do some of your forums say otherwise, i mean i do not really understand it... so contradictory..... first you say that you do not need to take the [color=#ff0000]cgfns exam but then later you say that the [color=#ff0000]cgfns will process everything for you... i need help to clarify this... i am so sorry that i do not understand these things...i am so confused... :(

4. since i am really after in working in ny, where do i get the ny application? :)

5. where do i get the special credentials verification? ;)

6. could you possibly tell me the site where i could obtain the child abuse and infection classes which you would like us to take? :)

7. what is and where is the vermont office? hehehehehe

8. another things... this one puzzles me... what is a visa screen certificate?

how do i get this?

9. i would like to go back about the [color=#ff0000]cgfns exams versus [color=#ff0000]nclex - rn exams... so do i need to take both or not? heehee... i am really sorry... i am confused myself... because why do i need to contact [color=#ff0000]cgfns if you say that i do not need to take the exam?

again i am so sorry... i know all of you out there are more knowledgeable than me... who better to ask than to all my more knowledgeable colleagues right?

i am truly grateful because i know you all are going to answer my questions... thank you in advance... hoping to hear more from you and becoming another person helping people out there..

1. you should first check the requirement of the BON of the state that you wish to apply.. check this out www.ncsbn.org

a. tse is no longer adminstered in the philippines..

www.toefl.org

www.ielts.org

b. most of the states now requires CES instead of cgfns exam so check the site of the BON

c. you definetely need to pass NCLEX-RN for you to become a licensed nurse in the US.

2. Most of the states are changing their requirements regarding cgfns exam.. most of them just need CES (credentials evaluation service) check www.cgfns.org

3. CES is one of the service done by cgfns.. there are 4..

a. certification program - which is what we know as the cgfns exam

b. Credentials evaluation service

c. credentials verification service - for new york applicants

d. visa screen

4. go to website of new york.. www.ncsbn.org then click board of nursing then look at the site of new york.. download the application forms etc..

5. at cgfns

6. online. www.nysna.org

8. visa screen certificate is the one that you are going to show to the consul during the interview... you can apply for this at cgfns..

9. check first the site of the BON that u wish to apply... if they dont need cgfns, then you should only take the nclex... no need to waste money...

goodluck on your application.. god bless..
