hi chokyali and all, after following your suggestion, cgfns has finally received my tor. however, i got notification of school incomplete school from cgfns with the following more details: 1) date of birth was not provided.(i assume it must be missing in my tor) 2) a valid signature was not provided.(?) 3) a valid seal was not provided.(?) i need to ask my registrar to send my tor again with above correction. actually, i already asked cgfns about this ..but we all know how their response is. i am really freaked out with cgfns and their monopoly. anyway......hmmm... my tor was mailed to 3600 market street, suite 400 philadelphia, pa 19104-2651 usa via fedex. please help me to get over with this ... thanks a lot... best regards

thanks a ton :)

Hi Chokyali .. Thank you very much for your help. Finally, my college is going to mail my TOR to CGFNS tomorrow. My only concern for now is that is there anything my college need to send to CGFNS aside from certified copy of my TOR? I heard on CES , CGFNS do send another separate form for college itself to fill and College is required to send that form too together with TOR. Hope to hear from you..Its kinda urgent.. thanks a lottt...

Hi Chokyali Sorry for bothering you. So did i understand correctly: CGFNS to NYED - 6 to 8 weeks NYED to Till NCLEx- 7 to 8 months thanks

Thank you Silverdragon102 CGFNS told me that they usually take 4 to 6 weeks to review TOR before they send report to new york education Department. But what i understood from your experience is 6 to 7 months. Anyway, i applied to new york education department before i started with CGFNS. I am done with child abuse and infection control too. I just hope New york education department doesn't require english proficiency test. thanks

@chokyali Your help really means a lot to me .. thanks..:) So you mean still 7 months more from the time cgfns receives my TOR up to the entire process of BON new york? thanks @ nurse428 Interesting ..keep me update of your progress.I will do mine too.. thanks

thanks a ton. chokyali:) however, i got bit confused. i understand that the certified true copy of my tor should be mailed by my school with school logo on it via fastest means( dhl or fed ex).i didn't get what do you mean by school post office? you mentioned that t hey handed you a sealed envelope containing the cgfns form and the certified tor. what is that cgfns form? is that the same authorization form ? thanks

Hi Nurse428 CGFNS has sent the first set of request letter to my college on feb 7 .It's been high time already. What are you up to? thanks

Hi chokyali Here i am again, I badly need your help..please ... thank you

Hi chokyali !!! thank you for getting back this soon.. Actually , i am in constant touch with the school registrar and in fact , i have my relative there to help me out to release my TOR. Registrar is ready to send my TOR to CGFNS as soon as they receive a request letter from CGFNS. Since CGFNS is taking too long and doesn't sound to be responsible enough. So i wanted to try out how you did by sending a authorization form to release my transcript directly to school. Ya i am going to mail the authorization form to school. Does that only needed ?? any further suggestion ?? could you please answer my earlier queries ?? I have added you in my friend list .Then only i guess i will be able to send PM. thanks again waiting for your reply

dear all concerned i graduated from nursing school in philippines. currently, i am in usa and i dont have any nursing license. i applied for cvs ny service in cgfns since nov 2011. since feb 2012, i have been waiting for my school to send the certified tor to cgfns. cgfns has already sent a second sets of request letter to my school in philippines but my school hasn't yet received any request letter so far. and i am so worried thinking what if my school will never receive request letter within 180 days period. however, i found that others are also facing similar issues. now , i want to try out what chokyali did( by sending the authorization letter directly to the school registrar and requesting them to send the certified tor to cgfns with their school seal. has anyone else tried this way? @ chokyali i have few questions for you since my concerns are very much related to you. 1) what documents did you send to your school aside from the authorization form for your tor? ( note: since i dont have any license, i got waived from contacting the licensing authority) . despite, do i still need to contact or send the blank form addressing to licensing authority? 2) did cgfns accept your tor with this method ? 4) if yes, how many copies of tor did you request to your school? 4) do you think i can try out your way ? i look forward to hearing from you. thanks a lot..
