hi kaiskadoole, there is no cvs certificate issued, it is an evaluation process required by the NYSED BON. in my experienced, it took 8 months before CGFNS issued my report to NYSED BON. expect 8 months or more. Usually, NYSED OP will send you a letter once they found you eligible to take and sit for the exam. NYSED will not process your application without the CVS. always check you cgfns account so that you can see the progress of your CVS application....GOODLUCK!

hi lovelymar, i just found out today that I pass the exam. and i was totally speechless and my hands was shaking while holding the fone to call my husband.. i think i answered the last question correct...(but not that sure!) i dont have any idea about that theory, though i read it somewhere in the pages of kaplan book... i think it doesn't give any credits, as long as you know you did your best in your exam. believe in yourself and dont lose hope! my congrats in advance!

thank you for your encouragement...it did lift me up. i will think positively that i passed.

Hi there, I also felt the same. I felt numb and i almost cried after taking my exam last friday. i feel i failed it...i also got the same questions, lot's of priority q's, meds, more than 10 SATAs, infection control, delegation...whew...i almost started giving up and got all 265 questions in the computer. right now, i'm still anxious waiting for the result. i prayed hard that God will make miracle for me and to give me courage to accept whatever the results of my exam. i always think of positive ways to overcome this anxiety...

hi colleagues, i'll be taking the nclex on May 9 and this is my first time. i hope i'll pass it because i did prepare for it for a year and prayed for it for a long time. i just wanted to congratulate in advance all the nclex test taker for their hardwork and patient....think positive!

Hello fellow nurses, I am also interested in applying for MMC as a staff nurse. I am 33y/o and been out of clinical practice for 4 years though I am currently working as a school nurse. I've applied to them thru online application via jobstreet.com..they post an ad there dated Oct. 30, 2007. I hope I will be shorlisted because i am really eager to go back to practice....and thanks to all those nurses who contibuted their infos regarding MMC application...

hi! i already received my eligibility letter from NY BON last Sept, they only said that i can already register with pearson. there was no time frame indicated in the letter. i inquired with them thru email if there will be an expiration or time frame on my approval, since i haven't registered yet with pearson. they replied to me saying that my approval does not expire. i plan to register with pearson by december or probably Jan.2008 because i want to be more prepare for the exam...my tentative schedule for the exam will be on March or April 2008. I think only the ATT expires within 90 days...i hope you could give some feedback on these...thanks!

Hi, I also applied for NYBON it took me a month to received a letter from them informing me that I am able to sit for the nclex exam. good luck on your application...

hi! as per requirement and instruction of cgfns, you need a literal englisg translation and including a cert. of accuracy, however, i have no idea on how to get one. i suggest you ask your school on how they can provide you with these kind of request. good luck on your application! :nuke:

hi! i just send my CVS application this month, just want ask if submitting your high school diploma is one of their requirement? did you send them a copy? i'm getting a bit confuse because as i've been reading some of the post here, secondary diploma is one of the requirement for CVS....I thought it is only required for those who are applying for LPN... thanks for your info!

Hi! i've checked the hoteltravel site and it seems that their hotel rates are much cheaper than booking for a travel agent. however, i'm hav'in second thoughts in booking for them or with any other ISP travel though they guarantee that all your personal informations will be confidential. how safe it is if i booked my reservations online? any tips? :wink2:
