I was speaking to a recruiter, and she said that you receive bonuses that require you to stay 2 years, otherwise you have to pay it back. When I said I didn't want any bonuses, she responded by saying that she doesn't want to waste her time and the hospitals if I am planning on leaving within a year... which was discouraging.

Thank you! I will definitely look into this xo Thank you! I will definitely look into this xo

Most of the residency/fellowship programs require a 2 or more-year commitment to the facility. Are there RN residency/fellowship programs that are 1 year or don't require you to sign a contract? Please let me know if you have come across this unicorn! Thank you for reading ?

I am an RN with dialysis experience and want to get into possibly ICU or ED. But I am confused on which program to apply to, as I am not a new grad; but then I do not have experience in ICU or ED so technically I am new? I would appreciate any advice! Thank you.

sorry I mean did you take up a dialysis job with another company/facility?

Thank you for the reply! Did you end up taking a dialysis job?

Hi I was wondering what the dialysis RN training looked like for both Davita and Fresenius respectively. The number of weeks, hours, exam etc. Is the training the same? I am looking into getting into dialysis and wanted to know how the training varied. Thank you!

I heard there are other companies that you can get your documents evaluated from that are more "user-friendly" (that's what my college was mentioning when I was going thru this). Did CGFNS eventually accept and complete the process?

I am also from Canada. I am surprised at how difficult it is trying to get the to go thru documents in a timely manner. I resubmitted my nursing documents just in case they find9 something else lacking, as well as the requested document. It has been a month since it was uploaded (I did tracking this time too). What is the update on your process? Did you have to wait another 10-12 weeks again after re-sumbitting the documents?

My school submitted some documents to CGFNS via tracking, and as: Delivered: PHILADELPHIA, PA 19104 on July 17, 2018 at 11:16 am Additional Information Your item was delivered to the garage or an alternate location at the address at 11:16 am on July 17, 2018 in PHILADELPHIA, PA 19104. Has anyone had the tracking delivery confirmation be to be to "garage or an alternate location" when mailing to CGFNS? I am worried that my school may have sent it to the wrong address Thank you!

Thank you for replying, at 8 weeks I figured everything was going well and submitted my WA application (got a bit excited). Thank you for the advise I will try contacting them and see what they say. Have you tried the "virtual consultation"?

I am so frustrated. I started my CES process Feb 2018, send in all my documents. It has been 9 weeks since they started the CES reviewing of my documents process. I received an email saying that my college didn't include pharmacology hours. My college had send an official separate letter listed all my hours which included my pharmacology hours. I called CGFNS and stated this and the rep said "Well that document wasn't uploaded and I can't see it, but it was transcribed as a transcript" I kept telling her that it is signed and stamped with my school seal but she kept pushing the 1 hour virtual conference call option or to get my school to re-fill and send the original "record for academic transcript" form. My other dilemma is that I had submitted my WA state application form and fees, which they received and emailed me stating that I didn't include my nursing academic transcript (which I didn't send as I was going thru CGFNS), and has given me 30 days before my application becomes "invalid." I have no idea what to do. I don't understand why the hours needs to be on their "record for academic transcript form" when my school has sent in a secondary letter, and the letter that they sent my school doesn't even state that they need to refill that form. I am worried that after pharmacology they will send another letter saying oh please verify ethic hours too. Has anyone had to deal with something similar? I don't want to lose my money and have to reapply to WA state. Sorry for the long message.

I am going thru my initial licensing process in the USA (I am a Canadian RN). The state that I am looking to register for doesn't require CES or CFGNS. But I know I will want to apply to other states for endorsement. Would I need to provide the endorsed states with a CES? I am trying to figure out whether I should do the CES thru CFGNS even though my initial licensing doesn't require it.
