hello to everyone. I am in kinda of a dilemma. any help will be highly appreciated. I am currently going through an endorsement process of my licensure. I hold a NY state Rn license and I am endorsing to CA. when i went through my application for the NY state it was NOT easy at all. they were very thorough and it was all through the CGFNS-CVS. I got that done and out of the way, passed the exam and so now I have a NY-Rn license. Now, i am a military spouse and with it comes along moving.... hence.. i had to move to CA. I did all the applications and what not, did the fees, background checks, fingerprints and so forth. And now, I get a mail from the CA BON that I do not meet the requirments for the Med Surg of Nursing Obstetrics theory and clinical portion. I am a foreign grad. I've read a couple of threads regarding this issue and it's heart breaking because I pretty much don't even know where or how to begin on what should I do next. It's hard to explain to them that it's different in my country. Our five(5) clinical cases are just merely a requisite for us to take the local boards. Now, on the other hand, all those clinical hours when we were still student nurses when we were there still in the hospital watching/cleaning the instruments....those count in the clinical hours. It may not show in the clinical case that we submit but we're there. Anyone else who has this issue going on? I need feedback on what to do next. How to approach this issue? It's not like I can just pack up my stuff and leave and go for another state because I have a family here. help..what to do.who has the same dilemma? thanks a bunch in advance.

thank you very much! )

thanks suzanne.. i allready have a visa.. that's why im wondering what other exams do i need to take besides the nclex?....

i am a newly registered nurse here in the phil. and i just applied for the licensure exam in the new york state. it only requires the cvs program from the cgfns.. and i have jst recently completed all the necessary requirements..(they received all the necessary documents allready) i am jst waiting for the the approval.. my question is: 1. how long do you think(estimate) would it take for me to get approved? --just so i could start my review... 2. what other exams are usually required for new york? (if in case im planning to start working)..do i need to be a cgfns passer? ielts? need advice.. any info would be of BIG help. :) thank you in advance.

okay..thank you very much.. patience is a virtue.. thanks again.. this has been very helpful! keep it up!

thanks dave..the thing is im quite worried because i transferred to another school...so, i would be waiting for 2 transcripts..from my previous one and from the one i graduated from right? im also wondering, i applied for the CVS/cgfns-newyrk state.. is the CES responsible for the evaluation of my transcripts?

im quite confused? if you applied for CVS/cgfns- newyork state... they will send the transcript validation form to the nursing school you graduated from right? is the CES responsible for the evaluation of the transcripts???

hi.. im new here and i would like to ask a few questions regarding my nclex application. i have applied in the cvs-ny state last jun2008.. and my credentials such as my transcript validation form from my school is still "waiting to be received".. question: are the cgfns the ones who will send the transcript validation form to my school? how will i know if they sent it allready? question: will you advise i take the online courses (child abuse and etc.) for the meantime i'm waiting for my application to be approved? question: im worried because our mailing service here in the philippines s like doing a hocus pocus.. so.. i would like to know if anyone has any idea what mailing service cgfns uses so i can estimate the time their transcript validation form sent would be received by my school..? im really confused and quite worried with my credentials and my transcripts.. please help.. need advice and suggestions... thank you very much:redpinkhe v
