   NCLEX is a lot harder than you think; study up. I used Archer review and it helped a lot. Texas requested my transcripts only when I asked for my license (which was already active) to be converted to a compact license. Nursing here enc...

   If you have been approved to take the NCLEX and have an ATT (authorization to test, or something similarly worded)They have accepted your application. Once you pass the test you will be a recognized RN in the state of NY.

   If your documents haven't expired (you can extend the expiry for $$) but your report itself has expired you can just apply for another report and it would be done pretty quickly (Again $$) Money makes the US go round... You can pay for everythin...

   CGFNS is THE WORST. If they didn't have all my documents already I would use literally anything else. But they almost have a monopoly on this service so they charge what they like and do it how they like. I think there are one or two other...

   I didn't have to do a visa screen because I obtained my green card through marriage. As far as I am aware immigration and nursing licensure are very separate systems. The only issue you might have is registering in a state without having a soci...

   You only need to do the CVS for NY. Once you become registered in NY you then transfer (known as "endorsement" in the US) the license to Texas or any other state. Some states might ask for a CES with this application at which point you would ne...

   You won't know the outcome until you finish your application with VA BON. And if you want to send your CES to another BON you will have to pay CGFNS to do so again! 😞 And I can't know the answer to that LOL, I used NY to register in Texas and it...

   Yes, you don't have to resubmit any of the annoying forms again, just the application for the CVS - CGFNS already has all the stuff they need! Trust me, I did the EXACT same thing you did and worried about the exact same things haha! You will al...

   They won't be able to tell you what to study, but they will be able to tell you if you are eligible or not based on the CES! (And will give you a license if you are haha) And no, you won't need to resubmit the forms again from your school or an...

    You can proceed with your application with the BON and if you are lucky they might approve it based on their requirements... (Not likely, but worth a shot when you're this far along and paid for everything anyway) If you wanted you could go and ...

    I have no experience with the visa side of things; I married a US Citizen so all of that was separate from my nursing applications. But if you got as far as passing the NCLEX you should have been registered as a nurse at that point in time in a ...

    CVS - NEW YORK - CGFNS 2019

    Daniel Timmons replied to Happy Life's topic in Registration

    NYBON will send you an ATT in your email. You can see their processing times here http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/nurse/ . Looks like they are running at about a 3 months waiting time right now. You can call them but the phones are busy a lot of th...

    New Zealand RN just received NCLEX eligibility from NYSED!!

    Daniel Timmons replied to A B's topic in Immigration

    Thanks for outlining your process and good luck with the NCLEX! The more information that's out there the better because I had SUCH a hard time finding how to do it all and I'm glad my comments helped other people! 🙂

    Yes, it will be faster because CGFNS has all your documents already. Apply for a CES with them and you can try NY. The same thing happened with myself and Texas. It would not impact the NY decision at all.

    Yep! Things were very straightforward with the NYBON. The only downside to this is that some states won't accept your endorsement without the further education. I know you can transfer NY to Texas, but you can't work in California or Hawa...
