Since Texas is a Compact state like Wisconsin, would it be a smart Idea if I'll just take the exam there when I'm living here? they only want CES in Texas. here in WI they want CP. Do you think they'll let me do that? thanks for the reply.

I agree that Texas is a lot easier. You only need CES heres the link: http://www.cgfns.org/sections/tools/apps/sbonrequirements.shtml but i have another question. i live in wisconsin and they want a lot here like TOEFL and CGNFS qualifying exam. since Texas is a compact state like Wisconsin, is it a smart idea if i'll just take the exam in Texas? Do you think they will allow me to do that?

you are right.. I tried to register but: WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF REGULATION & LICENSING--ERROR: The Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing does not require a CES Report for licensure of Registered Nurses; however, they do require the CGFNS Certification Program. so now it doesnt matter if I'm a resident here I still need to take all of these? I was really hoping it'll help me somehow lessen everything. :uhoh21: some of the forums i saw, they said taking CGNFS and TOEFL are more on helping you for your visa etc.. I dont know, it's confusing..

thank you for the response. how about the TOEFL? do you I need to take TOEFL too? so processing my CES is the first step? am I right? I'm sorry, I really have no idea how to start.. thank you once again.

yes i check the website hoping there is a step by step processing for foreign graduates. but i cant find any.. I really appreciate your time.. thank you

hi everybody. i'm new here so i'm really hoping somebody can answer my questions. i graduated in the philippines and had my license there last 2010. now i'm planning to take the nclex here in wisconsin, i'm resident here. i dont know where to start. do i really need to take the cgnfs qualifying exam and toefl? some of the forums i read, i don't need to since i'm here already and we used english in our school. but i really wanna make sure before my money gets wasted. what will i do first? i saw some forms for foreign graduates in dsps but no exact instruction what to do. i emailed some people i saw from a forum and they have the same problem. they don't know either. i called the bon and department of safety and proffesional services a couple of times already but they just passed me around and end up with their voicemail. so i tried to read a lot of forums but still i can't get any answer.
