Katalinah LVN, RN

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

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...

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 eval...

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 ?

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 qu...

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...

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 del...

Once your documents were evaluated by CGFNS, you will get your eligibility letter from BVNPT. :) Only the Ca BON asks clinical cases. I got my eligibility letter 6 days after the CGFNS sent the CES report to the Ca BVNPT. Hope this helps. Goodluck :)

No I did not get the expedited one just the $350 for the CES. :) I wasn't in a hurry so I just waited.

It took 15 days (after I completed the documents) before they sent my CES report to Ca BVNPT.

Hi, when will you take the test? Did you go to a review class?

Wow! Finally you'd be able to take the test! What happened with your license verification? Were you able to waive it? Or you requested for it to be validated in the Philippines? My school already mailed my transcript to CGFNS but the status at cgfns...

Hello, I'm still waiting for an email from bvnpt about my questions regarding my application. I submitted my application both in bvnpt and cabon. I am in California btw, I already received letter from CABON and they are requiring a complete copy of m...

My school just mailed the forms to CGFNS yesterday, so I'm still waiting. I requested for professional evaluation

Hi, how was your application? Did you get your ATT yet?

I didn't know that some states have that time limit of education/experience in their requirements. Please let me know about Nevada, planning to take NCLEX in that state maybe in a year. I just sent the forms to my school, hoping it'll be sent to cgfn...

Is it hard to find an lvn job if you dont have an experience? Im still waiting for my ATT, I've been away from medical field for 8 years and I'm worried that no one would hire me because I dont have any working experience in a hospital.
