    Endorsing NY license to another state

    A B replied to A B's topic in Nurse Registration

    Endorsing NY license to another state

    A B replied to A B's topic in Nurse Registration

    Endorsing NY license to another state

    A B replied to A B's topic in Nurse Registration

    Australian nurse wanting to work in America

    A B replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    A B replied to Skeim's topic in Nurse Registration

    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...

    Australian nurse wanting to work in America

    A B replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    A B replied to jeff214's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

    A B replied to Philippa Limbrick's topic in International Nursing

    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

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

    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...

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

    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...
