but I can`t practice as an RN just yet since I`m a foreign graduate from the Philippines. I got my licensure form state of California and now I'm endorsing it to Iowa. The IOWA-BON however needed a CES report from CGFNS so I applied for one. It's been six weeks since they received all the requirements needed from my school. And then today, I received an e-mail from them that says INACTIVITY NOTIFICATION and said they needed a License Validation from the Philippines which is impossible because I did not take the local board exam there so there is no license to validate. I e-mailed them and told them the same thing but no reply yet. What should I do? Anyone who had the same experience? I'm just really tired of waiting and if in 3 weeks I still don't hold an RN license here in Iowa, my boss will open the position to anybody. Please help me..
i called them monday and they told me to send them a letter justifying why i do not hold a license.. so i sent them the letter wednesday since i had to work the rest of the week.. still no changes on the status of my ces report.. i might have to call them again one of these days..
are you from the philippines too? did you apply for the same thing? it IS frustrating..=((
I am also almost in the same situation as you. Except that I just started my CGFNS processing. Hope to be in contact with you and your progress. Good luck to both of us.

If Iowa has already told you they require local license ask them what to do if you endorse from another state? If local license still required then you may have to consider going back to sit the exam
I am a romanian nurse working in London. I will be in UK next year as i hold a greeen card. I need a CES report as i want to work in California or North Carolina. As far as I know these two boards don't require a secondary school transcripts. When I read the report, I have noticed they require too many subjects. I cannot even remember what I studied in high school...Have a look
Art
English
Foreign language
History
Music
Philosophy
Religion
Speech
Anthropology
Archaeology
Economics
Human geography
Political science
Sociology
Chemistry
Physics
I had a look on my nursing school transcripts and I cannot find any subject. My high school transcripts will be very hard to obtain as i don't know if the school still exist after 20 years...
