For me they send how much deficient I was. Maybe it depends on BON? Which one did you apply for?

Could u share how to correct deficiency? I tried with Virginia BON and there were no college that could take me for Maternity and Pediatric standalone courses.

Thats so cool. Wish we had same in Australia.

I decided to pursue my career in healthcare technology . I think it's worth changing it now than later. Less burnout, more pay, more work life balance. I couldn't get any colleges that could accommodate me anyway. Goodluck!

If you do CES, you will most likely get deficient so probably do CVS, get registered @ NY then endorse your license for Texas. Goodluck!

Yes as far all the threads I read it's possible. @Daniel actually did CES for NY first, passed NCLEX then applied for CVS NY. Cuz CGFNS would have your school paperwork, they won't need anything else. I am thinking to go in that way too. Btw do u know if we can extend CES report as mine expires in 10 months. I can see expiry is 1 year from the day CES is issued.

Oh okay. No, I haven't found it here either. I just rang up the admission department and they said they don't accommodate students just for those courses. Good luck. Please share if you find anything!

Hi guys. I know this is an overdue post but any chance you found an online course or one on campus? Please share any knowledge. It's really appreciated!

Hey, @Hanniebunz I am in the same situation as you. Did u had any luck finding those courses online or on campus? Please share any knowledge. It's really appreciated!

Also, @Daniel Timmons if I wanted to give it a shot for VA, do I apply on their BON website as shown below? I see that CGFNS has VA BON as a recipient.

You are so right that US likes to nickel and dime everywhere! Do you think it's worth to apply CVS although I would never go and work in NY? I am in such a dilemma about what to do and what not to... But thank you for all your replies Daniel :))

Hi, @Daniel Timmons sorry to bother you again. Could you clarify if paying CGFNS the CVS service ($385 I presume) is the only requirement for NY BON? I am just asking because I didn't want to waste money as I already did for the CES report and received it this week. I am just confused that as my CES report is already ready, they will ask again to fill out the forms for my school? Also, when does this CES report expire if I am able to gain CVS from them? your reply is appreciated!

Haha, gotcha ! Only if it's my lucky day or something then yeah maybe... Wow, that's honestly such a relief. So I just pay for the CVS form in CGFNS. Do I contact CGFNS for that or just pay on their website? That's all I gotta do right? IKR that was a nightmare. Studying nursing was easier than getting them forms fill out LOL.

Thanks, Daniel. So should I apply on the BON website? Are they the ones to tell me what courses and where to study? Yes, will do it, hope it's worth a shot. Cuz last time I called them, they said they have no idea. Also if I pay for CVS via CGFNS now, do I need to do everything from start like tell my school to fill out forms (Cuz they were pretty pissed & had a hard time filling them out). My only concern is that CGFNS will ask me to tell the school to fill out forms again. I would be happy even if I get registration from NY BON.

Hello guys, I finally received my CES report via CGFNS! Although there are:- - 0 hours of theoretical & practical for Maternal/Infant Nursing - 0 hours of theoretical & practical for Nursing Care of Children What do I do next? Does BON contact me? Or do I apply on their website? Also, has anyone done theoretical hours in Virginia? DO BON tell me where to go & study for these deficiencies? I called a few colleges. Basically, they told me to do all courses again as they don't provide standalone courses just for paeds/maternity. Happy Holidays!
