Hi all Coloradan, I am a RN who has just moved to United States. I passed my NCLEX earlier this year and have an active CO RN license, but I am having a hard time finding job here in Denver, Colorado. The recruiter said it's because my nursing education is a foreign degree (not accredited by ACEN / CCNE) and I do not have any U.S. clinical experience. I am interested to take a look at the clinical side before I decide to do the whole BSN again or if I should give up doing nursing and change career. If anyone happens to be working at UC Health and would give me a favor to job shadow your work, please let me know. (Would appreciate other job shadowing opportunities too but I only knew UC Health has a job shadow program) Thank you

I am researching through the online RN to BSN in Colorado and glad to share my findings! Colorado Mesa University, University of Mountain Colorado, Metropolitan State University of Denver, University of Colorado - Colorado Spring/Denver has in-state tuition rate!

Thanks for your input! I found out Colorado RN endorsement doesn't need CGFNS too!

Thanks for the info! I applied for army nurse once with my CA license too, but they don't accept my Master of Nursing degree from Hong Kong. So I would need to get a RN-BSN from an accredited school in U.S. Hope will get some credits transfer!

I have the same issue here. Don’t know if I need cgfns CES report for endorsement from Cali. DORA never replied, appreciate if you have any updates ?

Hello I am a RN educated in Hong Kong. I recently got my license in California and I am interested to endorse to one of the compact states. However, I find that most of them need CGFNS for foreign educated nurse even tho I already have a RN license in California. Does anyone know if any states that have easier endorsement, i.e. without having to go thru CGFNS? Thanks
