new jersey no longer requires the cgfns exam, for initial licensure or endorsement.

you will need to get a ces, in place of that requirement. same as what illinois did.

cgfns processes the ces. www.cgfns.org.

hi!im new here.i'm a bit confused about the requirements in new jersey. i'd like to know if they need the CP or they need the CES (as i heard, the updated requirement under the program of CGFNS). i am an RN here in the philippines. i hope someone could help me about this or maybe someone here could give me a good website regarding the updates in the state requirements. thank you so much!

NJ doesn't require the CGFNS Exam/Certification anymore effective May 1, 2006. Only a transcript validation from CGFNS is needed. The Application Form for download isn't updated yet re: Foreign RN requirements. However, they have given a note on the new requirements.

Pls. refer to this link: www.state.nj.us/lps/ca/adoption/nurado51.htm

by the way, where can i download the new application for this? i still dunno much about the transcript validation..does it mean i still have to undergo the eligibility? whats the purpose of the validation of the cgfns if the exam/cert is not needed already? sorry if i have alot of questions coz i have some resources from the net but i guess its the older version...i hope i'll get updated clearly about this...thanks so much!

CGFNS will validate your transcripts and all held licenses (CES - hence, Credential Evaluation Service) and gives it to the NJ BON then NJ BON will approve your application base on the CES report given by CGFNS and then the NJ BON will make you eligible to sit for the NCLEX.

All State BONs will need to validate your transcripts to make sure that your nursing education is comparable to the U.S.

Some State BON do it on their own (e.g. CA, VT, NM) while some let a 3rd party do it for them (CGFNS - CES).

There is no new application application packet. As I said previously, they have not updated it yet. This is really no issue. You can use the old ones. They already know the new req'ts anyway.

Don't forget about the TOEFL req't as well. Just in case you missed it.

In a nutshell (just for you):

1) Apply for CES through CGFNS (of course, indicate NJ BON as recepient)

2) Apply for NJ BON application packet

3) Give passing TOEFL results to NJ BON

All other details, I'll leave it up to you as your homework. ;)

EVERYTHING is in their websites anyway and you can contact both the CGFNS and NJ BON for additional queries.

stickadora, if your going to apply a license in NJ, they need TOEFL.

you can apply for visa screen if you already have cgfns EXAM (not the CES) and/ or NCLEX plus the english exam (IELTS or TOEFL+TSE, or TOEFL iBT).

Best way is to contact NJ BON and ask them directly. No confusion and no he says or she says.
