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!

Hello, my fellow Australian Nurses! I recently submitted the "Record of academic transcript" CGFNS form to TAFE NSW where I did my Diploma of Nursing but they stated that they won't fill out the form unless it comes from CGFNS. I am pretty sure ...

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 kno...

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 r...

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? IK...

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 CGFN...

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 ...

Thank you for your reply @A B I have applied CES w/ CGFNS but haven't heard anything back from them. Should I also get CVS service from CGFNS now or wait till I get CES report? I am just worried than deficiency will show up at CES report. A...

Hi @A B, Thank you to you and Daniel Timmons from all Australian nurses who are in dilemma with NYSED and other states. Your both advice hasn't got unnoticed! May I ask when the eligibility is granted, then when should NCLEX be given? In my CGF...

Hey Sarah, Mine shows "Clinical integration: Acute care" for Sem 1, " Clinical integration: Mental health" for Sem 2, "Clinical integration: complex care" for Sem 3 and "Clinical integration: speciality practice". Hope this helps. Regards, ...

Hi @Daniel Timmons were you successful in getting licensed with New York BON yet without having to do those deficit courses? If so, was your university required to breakdown the hours of theoretical and practical like those of CGFNS form? My college ...

Hey, IKR these paeds and obgyn clinical hours criteria is insane! I am happy to study and do course but seems none college/university offer those standalone courses.. So depressing fr! I applied CES CGFNS. I already got green card so I don't req...

Hi @hypnotizer90 do u know anyone who has gone through the process of completing these deficiencies of paeds/obgyn? Do u think going via NYBON would be flexible on these hours in compare to CGFNS?

Hey Aussie nurses, How are you all doing? This post is long overdue but may I ask if any of u guys managed to find any course/ additional coursework at the states to overcome this deficiency? I am in the same boat. After research, I found New Y...

Hi guys, I am RN from Australia and want to become USRN. I am in the process with CGFNS but my uni has already mentioned n/a for paeds & obgyn. So I am pretty sure my CES report will be deficit and is there any stand alone courses available ...

Hi Rex, Ah, right.. I think CGFNS is needed for visa screening. I have recently got green card at the states so I think I won't have to go through the CGFNS. 3 months in and still my college is very vague & reluctant to fill out those forms!...

Hey Chelsea, I was grateful enough for my uni to sent me tracking number for the forms. It said delivered 10 days ago but in CGFNS website says " Waiting for Initial document". I had majority of my placement on Medical ward :( Hopefully I can do some...

Hey Chels, That's great! Hopefully, CGFNS will approve that form from APHRA (fingers crossed for both of us). I went through TAFE to do a Diploma of Nursing then did my Bachelors through ACU. Uni has already filled out the form and mailed ...
