So I have been working as a nurse since 2013. I started my nurse career in the emergency room for almost 5 yrs and moved to an outpatient surgical center as Pre/pacu nurse. I love the people I'm working with and the patients we have are just amazing ...

I got a call from them. And they asked me about jobs im interested in. I want to know how they work, and if I have to pay them once I get a job from them. How much would it cost? Anyone who has worked with them? Any reviews? Thanks!

I have sister in law who used to be a hiring manager in a hospital. I asked some help from her to do some corrections on my resume and she did. But I had some questions because she told me working in the ED as a nurse is so competitive. And it will ...

I know nurses have 3 shifts-am, midshift, night. I want to know if youre assigned in a shift, how many weeks will you work on that shift? I am a new US nurse, but I ve been working as ED nurse in the Philippines for 3 years. Our 8hours shifts there c...

So ive been an ER nurse for 3 yrs and that was all outside US. I stopped working for a yr due to transition from Asia to US. Then I got a job as an ED nurse in a busy ER. Ive been working there for almost 2 months and 1 wk. Im off orientation next we...

Hi everyone! I have a question about renewing license. I took the NCLEX in Ohio and passed last November 2018, and I endorsed my license here in Maryland. So I am a nurse both in Ohio and Maryland. I am currently working here in MD. Ohio board of nur...

I am a new nurse in US and I already have experience of 3 yrs in asia. But the practice in US vs my home country is so different almost in all ways. I am in my 1 month orientation, and it sucks because my preceptor is expecting I know everything and ...

I am a foreign nurse from the Philippines. I am already RN licensed in Ohio, and I am trying to get endorsed in Maryland as a nurse. So it means, I already worked with CGFNS for CES professional report before for Ohio BON. But they required me to do ...

I dont know how to give tips for resumes and cover letter because mine was just really plain and simple. No flowery words. You can always search templates online. Yes, I got hired in two hospitals. I chose the one that I think was perfect for me. I a...

Hello! I did not start again from the start. CGFNS only asked for my high school diploma.

I used UWORLD to study for the NCLEX. I am a foreign nurse, and it has been years since I took PH licensure exam (2012) which made me feel so incompetent in taking exams. I heard about Kaplan online reviewer. I purchased and used it for a few weeks, ...

Thank you guys! I'm so excited and nervous you start working next week.

I reported CGFNS to BBB last week. I got an email yesterday from BBB that they already sent CGFNS a complaint letter about my situation. And then CGFNS emailed me today saying they already have a reviewer doing the review for my application. They nev...

I have been begging from CGFNS to give me an option of paying to expedite my application. But I never got the luck. They always tell me to check my account everyday to see if I have an option to do it because it is full. I have been waiting now for 1...

Or you can contact your local congressman and state attorney general to make a complaint about CGFNS. I hope this helps.

Im gonna try to report them to BBB. They are really too much now. They are just after money, and not even helping people out.

I'm sorry to hear about that! Call again and talk to someone else who is more helpful! Explain your situation to them. Do you have your own CES copy? Maybe they will accept it if it is from you? I really begged the MD BON and explained to them that m...

Oh yes! I've tried everything with CGFNS. From making them feel guilty, calling and emailing them everyday, to trying to report them. Lol. But I did not report them, I changed my mind because MBON was really understanding. CGFNS promised to do it in ...

Hello! I got my MD Nurse license finally. MDBON accepted my old CES report from Ohio. Good thing I have a copy of the old one when CGFNS approved my CES report for Ohio. Give BON a call, tell them your situation and ask if they will accept your old C...

Hello! I never provided any certificate of employment in CGFNS reevaluation. I just provided them my previous employment info. But in the hospital I got hired, the background check agency asked for my certificate of employment. So keep those stuff wi...

I have 2 job offers as an ED nurse in a hospital. I have decided to go to the one which I think best fit for me. My question is, once I decline the job offer, will I be blacklisted in their system and I can not anymore apply to them in the future? I...

I picked the Catholic Hospital. I accepted the offer as an ED nurse. Both hospital offered me as an ED nurse but I chose the one where I felt comfortable and met friendly people. I made some friends immediately in there unlike the other one. I like w...

So I was really shocked because I got an interview from one hospital and was given an opportunity to shadow someone. But I do not know yet if I was really hired or not because I was not able to talk to the nurse manager after shadowing. And when I ha...

One hospital is offering 29 per hour. I do not know if this is a decent pay though. Lol. I am still waiting for the other hospital's offer Thanks!

Update: I got hired in the 2 hospitals. One hospital offred a low starting salary. I am still waiting for the other one's offer.
