   I am still waiting too. CGFNS sent my documents Dec 18th and they still haven't accessed them. I have been able to call because they weren't responding to my respondence via email. Such a frustrating process!!

   Clinical Hours Required

   gigi894 replied to gigi894's topic in Registration

   Thanks I might try that. I am getting frustrated, I direct a question to CGFNS about the hours required by the WI BON and then they direct me to the WI BON, who then directs me back to CGFNS ?.

   AUS RN moving to WI, HELP!

   gigi894 replied to gigi894's topic in Wisconsin

   I think that’s what I am going to have to do. I have found a school in Michigan that will allow me to make up the hours. I just can’t get to America now because Australians aren’t allowed to leave the country due to COVID. I have been hearing similar...

    gigi894 replied to oz-nurse's topic in Registration

    I am not sure to be honest, it should but I don't know what their minimum hour requirements are. Best bet would be to contact CGFNS- phoning is the best way I have found, email replies can take days- a week.

    AUS RN to USA HELP!

    gigi894 replied to gigi894's topic in Registration

    Yes and if it expires you need to pay more money, it’s a broken process in my opinion. I had to pay for my uni to send the transcripts, then AHPRA to send my registration and they take months before they even look at them.
