hi. thanks lawrence. now i know, i'l be inquiring the asap by next week and hopefully review and take the CBT.. i've read the article from idfpr. i'd be best taking the TOEFL CBT.. thank you everybody has been such a big help! :yelclap: :innerconf

ubermench, i almost did that step, and im glad i didn't pursue. thanks suzanne for the info. lawrence, hi thanks for the reply. i have visited the website for CGFNS before i have posted in this site. unfortunately, it didn't state whether there is a deadline for filling for the CES. do you or anyone know if CES application can be done at anytime of the year? no specific dates for submission? sorry, i'm such a newb regarding this CES, my mum who took the CGFNS exam way back (2 decades ago) forgot everything about the process for taking CGFNS, though i bet the process for CES and the certification exam would still be basically the same except that i would not be sitting for an exam.. right? so what can you/anyone advice me to do right now, it would still take me roughly 20days till i get a licence # from PRC... can i like request for the application form for CES now and fill it up and wait till 15th of aug to send it? when do i pay the CES Fee? lastly can i take the TOEFL, even without the CGFNS CES done first, since i would not rather waste time sitting at home letting time slip by.. i'm so sorry for bombarding everyone with many questions.. i would really appreciate if anyone would answer... its been mind boggling reading all info about CGFNS, TOEFL, NCLEX.. it seem this would be the only way for me to verify my thoughts.. thanks everyone! have a nice day! :typing :yelclap:

thank you for this thread! i too am a fresh grad who just passed the june licensure exam here. and i have plans in taking/applying for CES Report, TOEFL and NCLEX. i agree with "gumdrop" when he asked the question '..do you think im taking the right steps??' am i, are we really taking the right steps.? anyone here who did the same steps, that we are trying to forsee? did you have any problems? also, do i have to wait for my license/oath taking before applying for CGFNS CES Report? can i now apply asap even without the formalities of a license. my relatives abroad, wants everything done in haste.. anyone with some answers please do post them.. thank you! :)

hi everyone, i am a recent graduate of a BSN degree and have passed the locen RN licensure. I have set my eye in working in illinois, since i have relative already living in that area but since a petition would take decades. They have advised me to take the CGFNS exam and since the BON of illinois have announced that there is no need for an CGFNS certification exam, instead a CGFNS CES Report is needed. Anyway, i was wondering being a newly graduate can i take or apply for CGFNS exam/CES Report as early as say, tomorrow or next week? i am quite in a dilemma wheter i work first or i take/apply for CGFNS first? any filipino nurses who done either of the process? or any nationality who done either of the process? hoping for an answer regarding this.. thank you all for reading and have a good day.
