Of course! What state are you going through? If you can get licensed through NY and then endorse to a compact state you should be OK. Can I ask why you chose to study in NZ? Feel free to private...
No worries, Elsa - ask away. I'm not sure what requirements the NY BON has but I know many AU/NZ RN's have managed to obtain registration through them. I started my application with CGFNS and dropped...
Hey Elsa, I graduated mid 2020 from MIT in Auckland. I'm not sure how easy it is to endorse to other states, for some you need a visa screen and others require a CES evaluation. I'm stuck on that part...
Can I ask how you endorsed? Did you need to complete a visa screen to do so? I'm worried CGFNS will say my nursing hours are insufficient once they review my visa screen. Am already licensed in New...
Thanks, I have since found out that MD does require a CES report for international nurses. However, I have asked my agency if I can endorse to another compact state (such as Texas) which does not...
Hello!
I've been offered a job in Maryland, however, I'm a little worried about endorsing my license as I was educated in New Zealand and am aware that my education hours will may not be adequate...
Haven't done this but think I might need to as I have a NY license trying to apply to MD. Please let me know of any updates you have, I'm worried my CES report will be deficient - I didn't realise I...
Hey, I would apply to New York state because you can always endorse your license. It will be even more of a headache to receive a deficiency notice and then have to go back and submit a CVS for New...
Hey Jeff, sorry I know this is an old post but I have a question re the VisaScreen. I also obtained my eligibility via CVS for New York state. Did you have to convert the CVS into a CES for Tennessee...
No worries! Thank goodness my CGFNS application went pretty smoothly - check my recent comments for a copy of my timeline. They didn't have any issues with the documentation provided - I went to...
You will have to go to Australia. I am also from New Zealand and sat my exam in Melbourne. Cost me $1400 (ouch) because I went middle of December but it was 1000 percent worth
Timeline as follows:

hey Sam!
No worries - call CGFNS and they'll convert your application to CVS. You don't need your school to resend the docs, I had all my docs sent in for CES as well but CGFNS managed to convert...
Hey Sam,
I’m confused - have you completed CVS with CGFNS? If so, send all your docs in and give them 3-4 months to process everything. At the same time, apply for your license on NYSED website...
