I didn’t use CGFNS when I endorsed my RN license from Florida to California. I requested the transcript and education breakdown from my school in the Philippines and the school mailed it to CA BON.

Do you know who your evaluator is? This might be helpful. Search in fb group and join, California Board of Nursing - Foreign Graduates.

They didn’t ask me that. I just uploaded a copy of my PRC license (they accepted even if it’s expired) and also my Certificate of Passing the Board. If you have those, upload it in Breeze and contact your evaluator to have the verification of license/diploma waived.

Yes. Took BSN in the Philippines.

Did you guys get your CA license yet? My endorsement application was approved last June. I waited 2 months and 2 weeks from the date I submitted the application. I didn’t receive any deficiency from my evaluator (I didn’t even get to know who my evaluator was). I just uploaded everything they might ask from me while waiting for them to review my application.

I thought it takes about a month before you get your deficiencies. Did you try to follow up? Now I am worried, I just paid this week. I don’t know when will I get mine ?

For foreign graduates, has anyone tried endorsing your license to California recently? Did you still take the required units for your deficiencies?

Awww I really hope I would be eligible as well. Planning to move there if I pass the exam. :) Just passed LVN exam here in California but of course I still want to be an RN and we are considering Jacksonville in Florida. Thank you for answering my questions.

Oh wow! Congratulations! Do you reside in Florida? Isn't it a long gap cos CGFNS already forwarded my evaluation to FL BON 2 weeks ago and they will have this board meeting on December?

Hi, I also sent my application for RN exam in Florida. I just called today for a follow up and they said that my letter is already in the mail but it is not an eligibility letter yet. Something about a board meeting on December for the approval of my application. I still need to read the explanation on the letter though. So how was your application? Did you get your eligibility yet?

Yes, I did get a letter from them last year and they need a copy of my clinical cases, academic calendar and my ssn. They can hold your application for a year until you complete all the requirements they need.

Were you all able to keep a copy of your clinical cases? My application already expired as I couldn't get it from my school and I couldn't remember having copies of my PRC cases

That I'm not sure cos I didn't get the expedited service

I got my eligibility letter 6 days after the CGFNS sent the CES report to BVNPT. Yes they do ask for HS diploma, I remembered I sent it thru fax but I couldn't remember the number. Try calling them for a detailed instructions :)

Just took the exam last July 24th right after my review class at rachell allen. It was a 10 day review but before the class I was doing a self review with saunders comprehensive nclex pn book, also la charity (it helped me with prioritization and delegations) I also did questions from Uworld and I love the rationales. :)
