Quick question, I have recently passed the NCLEX, I now hold my Ca license, and want to apply for my NY license. I was educated in Australia but am an American Citizen. Does anybody know if I will still have to go through the CGFNS process with NY state as this was not needed in Ca. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So confusing from state to state! Thanks

I'm a bit complex!! I have done my nursing education at a university in Australia. I am now about to sit the NCLEX here in Australia, and all going well and I pass in 4 weeks, I will be registered in the state of California. I now have dediced that I want to work in New York instead. Does anybody know how I can go about getting my reg there? And will I have to go through CGFNS for them considering I didnt' have to for California. Will I have to get my nursing school to forward all my transcripts again? I am an American Citizen on a US passport so no worries there with visas. Please any advice would be good! I have gone through already a 2 year process plus lots of $$ and i'm hoping that once im registered in a few weeks in California that it'll be only a bit of paperwork and I can transfer it over to New York! Thanks, Sarah

Hey i have spoken to the collage of nursing.. which courses specifically do i take for peds and obs? do u rememebr their names? Thanks, Sarah

Thank you. I didn't add that i am a US citizan + have a SSN. I just attended college in Australia. Does that change your response at all?

Hi everyone, I am a registered nurse from Australia. I am in the process of applying for my registration in California. I hold an american passport. The nursing registration board has stated that i must study Pediatrics and Obstetrics as i did not in Australia. I have tried to contact UCLA head of admissions and they have told me that i am unable to take these classes as i need to be an enrolled student. I then asked how can i enroll and they have simply said that i cannot enroll and the simple answer was NO you cannot do any of this. SO.. Now what? The nursing board has said that i can do this and after i have done this i will get the authority to take the NCLEX. I'm so confused about how to go forward with doing these classes as UCLA have been less than helpful. Thanks for any help Sarah
