    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    I just sent them my original CES report in an email. (Which they already had from my failed international application). It was "expired" at the time. The next day I had my compact. I don't know if...

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    CVS - NEW YORK - CGFNS 2019

    Daniel Timmons replied to Happy Life's topic in Nurse 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...

    New Zealand RN just received NCLEX eligibility from NYSED!!

    Daniel Timmons replied to A B's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    No. I did the same thing. They are considered separate services. You will need to pay for a CVS as well; however if you have already provided them with documents as evidence for the CES they will...

    Hey! Again, I did everything myself so I have no experience with agencies. Are you AU trained and wanting to work in the US? A quick Google search I found...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    This answer depends on the state, unfortunately every state has its own governing body and different rules that apply. For Texas I sent them evidence of my NZ and Australian RN registrations. My NY...

    Yes! New York accepted my application without any further education. I have my Bachelor of Nursing from Flinders University in SA and nothing else. And also yes! You need those forms sent...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    If you haven't started your application with CGFNS/ whichever states BON I would budget 6 - 10 months until you get an ATT and that's if you stay on top of EVERYTHING. Mine took like 2 years because I...

    Australian nurse wanting to work in America

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    Once you have an approved application with one of the states BON they will provide you with something called an "Authorization To Test" (ATT). Once you have this you can apply with NCBSN to sit...

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    I know! And they are correct. You don't need to use CGFNS (or any verification service) with the NY BON. They will verify your education and overseas registration

    Daniel Timmons replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    NY BON will either accept you providing the evidence / documentation of your nursing education directly to them OR they will accept a CVS from CGFNS. On the website it states that submitting your...

    Hi Brazos, You could do the Peads placement and see what happens, you might get lucky and have it meet the requirements. The only people who could tell you exactly what those requirements are is...
