It depends on the state where u leaving. Bec. here in NY, CGFNS will be the one to ask directly to for TOR from the university u came fromm. In Chicago it is u who will give the form to your university.

Your school/institution where you completed your BSN must submit your transcript to CGFNS. You also have to complete an application.

They will advise you whether or not you need to complete another exam prior to writing the NCLEX or not. You may have to pass English exams also.

I've gone through this process (although not from India)

Moved to the International forum

Generally transcripts have to be sent direct from your nursing school or can be in a sealed envelope that they have sealed and indicates they have sealed it and it hasn't been tampered with.

You will not get eligibility to sit NCLEX until you have met all requirements set down by the state

Generally transcripts are required to come directly from your nursing school to the state or CGFNS. You can obtain them before you leave India however they must be in a seal envelope with the school stamp. Other requirements will be posted on the state BON website on what you need to do

Guri414,

Did you get your cgfns evaluation? Is it the VOL which took time? And do you know if we can expedite it some how?

I am planning to apply for cfgns and would like to know if alternative agencies are any faster.

Regards,
