NCLEX-RN in the Empire State (NY)

Published

hi everyone again!

so now that there is no hope for me in getting the ATT when i am done with my NCLEX-RN application here in my home state (CA), I have decided to reroute my plans in applying to another state which is in NY. I have looked at their designated website, but i am too confused of what they have put in there. the infos are seemed to be vogued. or it is just me that i couldn't really comprehend of what is stated in there.. i do somehow understand that before i could apply for their licensure exam i need to take the infection control training and as well as the child abuse seminar. but i am a bit lost of where and how to take it when i am living here in LA. i cannot afford yet to live there before i pass the exam, because cost of living there is too costly to handle. so i am planning to take them if possible online. can i do that? TO THOSE who have applied for NCLEX-RN in NY who is from the Philippines please do tell me and advise me steps by steps on how to apply for NCLEX-RN in the state of New York and the processing time. thank you so much! your comments are highly appreciated :)

GOD BLESS US!

You don't apply for the NCLEX. You apply for a nursing license by examination as an IEN. You must first apply to CGFNS for CVS which takes 6+ months. Then apply to NY BoN. The required courses in IC & child abuse do not need to be done in person. There are links to complete online/distance on the NY BoN website.

@justbeachynurse: oh okay! sorry. i was mistaken. so yeah, i am planning to take the licensure exam in NY instead here in CALI since it is nearly impossible to get the ATT because of the concurrency issue. so i have to process the CGFNS first? before i could start doing the IC and child abuse? or i could do that while waiting for my CGFNS to be done scrutinizing and evaluating my credentials? i am really lost, forgive me. i do not know which first to do. i am so occupied in wanting to get this done and over with. but i do understand that it is not that easy for this to be done in a certain span of time. thank you so much!

CGFNS first. While CGFNS processing you can do required courses. NY is not quick

Moved to Nurse Registration forum

As mentioned before... Start CVS process and then whilst waiting do the required courses online and when things are processing with CGFNS CVS you can then send application to NY BON.

There are a few threads discussing NY so you could do a search
