Hi Mharic! I just have a questions about on how you apply for your license in Philippines and the oath taking in Chicago.. I am also planning to have my Oath taking there. So did you just downloaded the SPA form? So what about the passing certificate? Where I can get that? About in registering in Phillppines, what are the requirements that you gave to your authorized person to process your license in Phil? Well, I will appreciate your reply.. thanks! :)

Yes CGFNS is asking for my College Diploma.. They have an application in there whereas you have to fill it up, print it and send it to your school. Then your school should be the one to send it back to CGFNS.. You should get an application first so you can fill up the informations :)

Hi sweety_les07RN! I also migrated here in US last Feb 2011. Have you get your papers done? Right now I am still waiting for my working permit and green card..

Thank you! that information was awesome!!! :))))

Hi Nurses! I am an RN from Philippines but I am now here in Nebraska.. I am having a hard time to apply for the CGFNS. It says there that the school where you from should be the one to send the Academic records/transcripts and license/registration/diploma to CGFNS. How should I send my those forms to my school? Is it okay to send it via email? Or it should be printed already? So what should I do first? Should I contact my school and wait until they process those documents or should I fill up and finish first the application forms for applying for the CGFNS? I will appreciate all your reply. Thanks!

Hi! I'm also an RN from Philippines and we have the same problem. Have you figure it out on how you will apply for the CGFNS? Please let me know. :)
