Hi, I would like to clarify some points since my friend and I are specifically interested in ILLINOIS or MARYLAND. We find it confusing if we need to have our NLE or not. We plan to NOT to take the local boards anymore and take the NCLEX asap. Please help us .... :bowingpur 1) My understanding is that CES does NOT require Philippine/local RN license. If the State BON did not specifically mention that local board/CGFNS is required then we're eligible to take exams for their state (since they only mentioned CES as their requirement). 2) How long does it take to process CES for both states? 3) How long would it take for me to receive our ATT for both states? 4) If you have the list at hand, could you provide me the states which do not require local license? 5) How do we get the forms for Maryland? Do we really have to call or send an email to their BON? Don't they have a pdf downloadable file? :tku:

Hi Suzanne, I'm new here and I've been reading the information posted. I found them very helpful.
