It will be an advanced degree in the U.S., then apply for EB-2. Will I need my foreign bachelor's official transcript for the EB-2 NP visa screen? (I understand that the MSN schools will ask for it) I guess no one really knows the answer. The CGFNS handbook does not explain advanced practice visa screen process. Thank you for the replies.

Hi, I know that foreign nurses need visa screen. What if I have a foreign nurse degree, but came to school for nurse practitioner and get EB-2 sponsorship. Do I need my bachelor's degree credentials to be evaluated by CGFNS also for the visa screen? Or only my nurse practitioner credentials? Thank you.

I was looking at the fees page, at the very bottom Board of Registered Nursing - Fees [TABLE=width: 75%] [TR] [TD]ICHP Visa Screen [/TD] [TD]$60[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Verification of CA RN Licensure[/TD] [TD]$60[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] What is that ICHP Visa Screen? Is this the same as the Visa Screen from CGFNS? Thanks.

If one has a course-by-course evaluation from an evaluation agency (evaluated foreign BSN degree), can a copy of the transcript be sent directly from the evaluator to cgfns for visa screen? Or must the transcript come directly from the BSN school? Thank you

Is the visa screen required for the following scenarios of EB2 sponsorship? 1). Foreign BSN --> RN License - USA Nurse practitioner graduate --> EB-2 visa 2). USA graduate of ADN program --> continued with BSN AND then MSN --> EB-2 visa. Thank you

Thank you Esme12. Pt hasnt had seizure for 6 months, suddenly had a seizure episode while sleepig, brought to the ED, had several seizures in the ED, treated, and then admitted to the neuro floor, the next day I cared for the pt, she had no seizures at all, even the night before she had no seizure. Pt assessment-- nothing was abnormal physiologically, so I'm confused with what to do with physiologic nanda.

i tried endorsing rn license to colorado. the state requires a social security number. they also have this affidavit to state what is the applicant's immigration status in the us. i said foreign national, lawful stay in the us, with valid ssn, but unauthorized to work. analyst doesn't know there is such ss that says not valid for employment. i gave her this link > http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10002.html#a0=2 now she's asking me to scan a copy of my ss card and email it to her. i don't have a problem with doing that, but i just want to know, is this within the brn's jurisdiction to demand a copy of my ss? and is this safe to do? i don't know who's receving my information on the other end of that email. it is unusual to be asked for an actual copy of the ss card, i always thought they just need the number. the brn website has no mention that they may ask for the actual copy of the ss card. do they just wanna know if i have a real ss card or what? is it safe for me to email a copy of my ss to them?

NM gives 4 choices where u want to evalute ur transcript. ERES has a rush service for additional $85 it becomes only 5 days, then they will send to NM board. NM keeps updating you when they receive ur application and then transcript. For one person i know, after the board received the transcript it was only two weeks till he got ATT. Then after passing the exam, the same day he got the result, while another person waited 2 weeks for result.If u plan to endorse to other states, many will require cgfns ces. Might as well do that so you dont have to do it twice and spend money twice. Heard cgfns ces they take 4 months to evaluate.

Haha, that much huh! Dats a lotta learning in a box

NM doesnt require ces only from cgfns, it can be from other evaluators that are faster for additional payment, cgfns doesnt have rush service.

what are the admissions requirement for msn/fnp? The only info I saw was: Undergraduate degree from an accredited, GCU-approved college, university, or program with a grade point average of 2.8 or better on the degree-bearing transcript Graduate degree from an accredited, GCU-approved college, university, or program Is that all?? Is the program still online? What does it mean by evening-sattelite?

Ok. Thanks everyone for all the comments and suggestions.

cant work in the US yet; you must not be aware of living in the US with different visas and some of the limittions that comes with it.. I'm different because i have a higher degree done outta the country. "C'mon now..." ?? Just trust me, i know stuff:). Hence I'd like to teach them. But still, I know community college teachers should have clinical experience even if it was only teaching lectures.

I've done all that you mentioned. I know everything u're talking about. I have a different backround that most nurses. I have inserted iv on a baby when the others couldn't get it right and poked the baby 3 times before i stepped in., have gotten arterial blood for ABGs, monitored cvp in the icu, etc. And i have taught all that you're talking about. I've been misunderstood, it's not that i don't like being on the floor, i love hands on stuff on the floor, but since i was small whether i was gonna be an accountant nurse engineer etc i was gonna teach it. Lastly i'm not allowed to work in the USA till i have at least a masters degree, hence i have no choice but to go straight to msn program without work experience.

How many hours a week is the average clinical preceptorship?
