Hi vinnyfromtheblock, Any updates on your PRC ID renewal? I need a license verification for CGFNS CES report for my RN endorsement application. I was told that I need an active PRC license in order to get the verification so I would need to renew my PRC ID. But I am here in The U.S. and I am also a US citizen, so I am unsure if PRC will renew my license. I do have CEUs but I don't know if PRC will accept those. I tried calling PRC but it always goes to voicemail. :-( If you can please give me some info on how you did your renewal. Thank you!

Hi. Did you find any information regarding the required TOEFL score by the VA BON and CGFNS? I am endorsing my RN license to VA, and I am a foreign-educated nurse. I already started my CES application with CGFNS. But I just took the TOEFL exam today so I still need to wait for the results. Thank you!

wow i graduated in 2008 too.. but in october.. we probably know each other.. hehe.. i'll send u a pm.. im hear in Fort Drum.. yeah, i submitted mine last December and just got their email that my application is complete by february.. Fatima responded to their request by April i think.. you can call them and ask if they received anything.. that's what i did.. i dont know why PRc took longer.. it was in May that they send my license verification to CGFNS.. and it took 8 weeks for CGFNS to finish everything.. so it was August that they send the report to NYS.. but after that it took only 4 days i think for NY to issue my license.. oh i forgot to say that i did an endorsement of my CA license.. Goodluck!

yes I'm from the Philippines. Nursing is my 2nd degree. I graduated at Fatima Valenzuela. So where in NY are you? Have you started your CVS?

CGFNS CVS for NYS takes 6-8 months as stated in the many posts here. mine took almost 8 months for CGFNS to submit their report to NYS. However, the time to process could really vary, depending on how your nursing school responds to the transcript request and the mailing time to and from different countries. Good luck!

hi.. i have also applied for cvs.. 2 months? wow it is taking them longer now.. the status of my application says ready for review too.. but it has only been 3 weeks.. i was actually expecting it to change to "ready for submission" because they had my transcripts like 2 months ago.. but just got my license verification 3 weeks ago.. but when i applied for CES.. once they received the last required document, it only took them 2 1/2 weeks to issue the report.. so i guess it will be a longer wait.. keep us updated! :redpinkhe

@ kristov: yeah just check your account again with cgfns and see what it says about your tor.. then just wait.. after those 6 month, im just glad that it is already at the final stages.. and the wait will be over soon.. we can now concentrate on finding a job.. i know it's hard to get a job there in our country.. and t is also difficult to land a job here esp when you are a foreign trained nurse with no experience.. hay.. i wish us luck.. hehe

@kristov: i did not pay anything to my school, cgfns took care of that as it is included in their fees.. so what's the status of your trancripts as per your cgfns account? if it says received then u have nothing to worry about.. maybe they are just finalizing your report and will be sending it soon to NYSED..

@kristov: i actually didnt do anything but pay the fees and call cgfns once or twice a month.. hehehe.. i also called my school to check if they recived any request from cgfns.. i called them last march and they did send the tor by the end of that month.. the prc verification took longer for me.. so now everything have been received by cgfns.. does your account say there are still some documents waiting to be received?

@kristov.. hi.. i was wondering how long did it take for your status to be ready for submission? u can check online on your account if there are still some documents that are "waiting to be received".. as for my case, cgfns received my TOR in april, and the PRC verificaion just this month.. i dont know why it took longer for prc to respond.. but im glad everything have been received already.. so the status of my application is ready for review.. i guess after that review, it would be read for submission already.. it has been 6 months already.. and the waiting game is not yet over..

well, every school is different as much as every student is.. i do not know anything about lanting.. just heard about it here.. i went to fatima valenzuela and let me share with you my experience.. i am a 2nd courser from up, fatima does not have any entrance exams, i just presented my TOR and they evaluated it.. as a BS BIO i thought it would only take me 2 years, however, it took me 3.. but maybe this is because i did not have full load every sem.. i needed to take some 1st/2nd year subjects because we do not have those in up.. and also back then, i was told that they allowed waivers for subjects with prereqs (like you can take healthcare 1 and 2 at the same time) but i did not go that route.. anyway, there is really no special treatment for 2nd coursers, you need to go on all your scheduled duty assignments and need to sit in every exam.. including the TCAP (pre graduation exam) and the qualifying exam (screening on who they allow to take the boards) if you would like to know more, you can ask me.. and i'll try to help// goodluck!

hi.. thanks for the reply.. so did u receive notifications that CGFNS already sent request to your school and licensing authorities? i applied end of december but i think it was just february that i received a mail from them stating that the application is complete.. so i guess that was only the time they sent out the requests.. do u remember your timeline? thanks again.. :)

hi.. i know CVS for NY state takes about 6-8 months to be done.. i was just wondering if anyone has gone through this service lately or is in the process of waiting.. like me.. i have read some threads discussing their experience with the CVS but they are quite old.. i appreciate any updates from anyone.. thank you..

thanks.. i'll try to do that.. so do the letters need to have their signatures or will it be enough if i just print their letters if i received them thru email? or should i request them to send me an actual letter through snail mail?

every potential employer i found is looking for at least 2 reference letter from previous CIs or employers.. i am from the philippines and have no paid local experience here in the US.. from whom should i get these reference letters? thanks!
