Your CES report must indicate that your education was conducted in English using English textbooks. CTS will evaluate your CES report and they will waive your TOEFL if they saw that your medium of instruction was conducted in English. You can work on your CES application first and after a month or two your CES report will be available for CTS. You can then submit your licensure application to CTS. You can also simultaneously submit your application to CGFNS-CES and CTS but problem arise when your CES report is delayed due to some unavoidable problem between your school and CGFNS. Remember that you have to accomplished fingerprinting when you pass your application to CTS. And fingerprinting will expire within 6months. So for precautionary measure, apply for your CGFNS-CES and wait for your report first before applying for CTS.

If you intend to apply for Illinois License then don't apply for Vermont anymore. Illinois and Vermont require CGFNS-CES report (not the CGFNS-Certification Program) so accomplish this first before you apply. TOEFL will be waived when CTS sees that your CGFNS-CES report indicates that you used English instruction using English textbooks during your nursing education.

Illinois will issue license without SSN. I just don't know if they require it when you renew your license. If you are married to a US citizen, then your immigration papers will be out in a few months. However, if your wife is GC holder, it will take sometime.

Is this about CGFNS-CES? Your college transcript (TOR) together with the academic request form must be sealed in one envelope from your nursing school/university. Some school handles the responsibility in mailing the documents. Your HS diploma must be sent by you. Don't put them together, your documents might not be accepted by CGFNS. You will waste more money and time if they will reject your documents. You can send them via express mail (post office) if you want to save some money. It will cost you around P788 compare to P1300 at DHL or FEDEX. Send your documents on Thursday or Friday morning because their cut-off date is Friday (3PM). Your documents will be at CGFNS on Wednesday. You can tract you package via USPS website.

You can forward your money order payment together with your application (registration) form. There is a link in their PearsonVue site where you can choose between a credit card or money order. Follow the money order link, and there is an instruction there. Good luck.

Maybe you should get the reasons why her (the pregnant student) school didn't admit her. If the student completed all her clinical hours and community duties, then she will just have to finished some theoretical hours, thesis, etc. Look for the brighter side of this and don't compromise the health of the baby.

CGFNS received your TOR and during their review, they found out that you are lacking in Microbiology, etc. Are you sure they told you that you lack "GRADE" not the Theoretical hours? Call them again and verify what you should do in this situation. Don't argue with them, they are the authority. Yes, some of their customer support agents are rude but not all. If you wait for their written instruction, you will be waiting (and wasting) a month to arrive in your door. Did you apply for Full course by course? Also check your TOR and verify if you have a grade in those subjects. In my situation before, they asked for the theoretical hours of Microbiology not the grade because it is clearly there in the TOR. If you will notice, there is no microbiology entry in the Academic Verification form. So what they instructed me to do is to get a certification from the school (with school's letter head) that indicate the number of theoretical hours of Microbiology. Signed and sealed by the school. They already received the new certification when I got in touch with their written instruction. Good luck.

Nice tips. Thanks.

Nice to know all these things. I am Network engineer and a nurse too.

Nothing is impossible but it's their rules and you must follow. As they always say "If you don't want the system, get out of that system".

They are all the same.

Go CHED Go CHED.

Try Robinson's Ermita if you are in Manila area.

Wait for your CES report before submitting your application to CTS. Although your CES report will indicate your license, IL BON still require you to submit CT-NUR.

NY requires CGFNS-CVS. You can apply online or send the application with payment to their office. It's better if you wait for the result of your CGFNS-CVS before applying for NY BON. Usually it takes 3-6 months for your credential verifications. Call them for sure answer. Good luck.

Good luck

Do you have your greencard with you? If you have the greencard then you can keep it because it's yours however if your application is still on going (due to retrogression) and you parted ways with your petitioner (your employer) then your case will be voided because you are not connected with your petitioner anymore. It is best to consult your employer and an immigration lawyer with this situation. Good luck.

Are you referring to their accreditation with CHED? I think they are because they are listed in PRC's list of nursing school however they are consistent in having a poor performance in Philippine NLE.

The new rule is for foreign nurse applicants who does not have Social Security Number (SSN). If you are in doubt and have a lot of questions then I suggest that you call CA BON so that you will get a first hand information. Good luck.

Try Vermont but you need to have CGFNS-CES report first.

Your IELTS result is about to expire, so hurry up. Contact CGFNS if they already received a copy of your IELTS result. If not, ask IELTS how to include CGFNS as your recipient. Good luck.

IELTS results can be downloaded electronically by authorized organizations, and you don't have to send them via email. Just specify your recipients when you register with IELTS, and IELTS will authorize them to view or download from their database.

These three are needed: 1. Application Letter (form from the agency requiring license verification), 2. special power of attorney (authorization letter will do) plus photocopy of your passport for Identification. 3. photocopy of your license (license must be renewed first if expired). Don't bother the other two because they can be easily verified using your PRC license number.

PRC will be the one responsible in mailing your forms. They will not going to give it your relatives. It will take maybe 3 days to process plus the transit time (delivery time).

You can look through this link and find which state does not require CES. http://www.cgfns.org/files/pdf/SBON_req.pdf
