Hi! I am helping my girlfriend work through literally this exact same process and it is beyond frustrating. She is an italian RN and is missing theory and clinical hours in pediatrics and maternal infant care about 35-40 hours in each). We have tried talking to CGFNS but they only "create the report" and they mentioned how they only give recommendations to the BON. Someone at CGFNS told me how the BON can approve/disapprove regardless of the the CES report. I called and asked the BON if that's true and they just say they go off the report. The only option for her to get these hours at the moment is to complete another nursing program which seems completely ridiculous. Would love to chat with some people or you KPrn01 to see if we can all help each other resolve this problem.
