thanks. i applied in ca. where did you take your nclex? i took it here in la. you'll get your results when you least expect it. :biggringi

THANK YOU, elenova, silverdragon and lawrence01!:balloons:

I passed!!!!:balloons: I took it last March 21 and I received the results exactly 14 days after my exam. I'm so happy. All my hardwork paid off.

Do you know where San Lazaro hospital is? Bambang is located along that street. The scrub suits are very cheap, you can get it from 200 to 300 pesos, different colors sya at pwede ka pang tumawad. Kung matagal ka ng di napupunta sa San Lazaro, take a jeep and ask the driver to drop you at UST along Forbes St. From there, take a jeep towards Tayuman, titigil na yung jeep sa harap mismo ng DOH. Lakad ka lang along that street, makakakita ka na ng mga stores na nagtitinda ng scrub suits. :)

so i expect to get my vsc before my cg certificate. i applied in ca. i received my eligibility letter last october and paid pearsonvue already a few days ago. i'm waiting for my att. i'll just concentrate on my review for nclex.:)

The testing center told me that they will be mailing the results of my IELTS exam in January 15, 2006 using a courier service. I indicated in my application that I'm sending 2 copies, 1 for CGFNS and 1 for ICHP. I hope they will update my files as soon as they receive the results from the testing center. I don't have a choice but to wait for my certificates to arrive. I'll just concentrate on my review for NCLEX.

They should update the applicant's files properly. I don't see why they are so slow in updating our files and we need to call their attention several times so that they change it. I know that there are so many applicants but they should be more efficient in dealing with these documents.

I checked my status in the cgfns website yesterday and I noticed some discrepancies under my visa screen application and CP application. In my CP application, my transcripts from my nursing school and license validation had a status that read - received but not yet reviewed, unlike in my visa screen certificate application, the status of these requirements read - meets all program requirements. I recently passed the CGFNS exam as reflected in my CP application but in my VSC application it read - meets all program requirements. I was shocked to see that under my VSC application so I called CGFNS right away to let them know about these problems. I was able to talk to a guy whose name is "Michael" and told him about my status. He told me that CGFNS is only waiting for my English exam results. I told him that I recently passed the IELTS exam. He asked me if I have the results with me and I told him I have it. He asked me to give the registration number and he checked it out. He then told me that they will just wait for the actual scores to be mailed to them so that they can confirm my English exam. I told him again about my concern regarding the status of my CP exam in my visa screen certificate but he told me that I already passed the CP exam and once they received the results of my English exam from the testing center then I will be issued my certificates. I just checked my status under the vsc application again a few minutes ago and they didn't change my CP exam status, it still reads - meets all program requirements. They apparently changed the English exam status, it now reads passed. I double checked my CP application, both the CP exam and English exam has a passed marked but the other requirements haven't changed. Both the CP certificate and VSC certificate are marked with "waiting for approval" status. Do I need to call CGFNS again to let them know that they haven't changed my CP exam status? I know the guy from CGFNS told me to wait for my CP certificate and VSC but the thing is, CGFNS didn't change the error that I pointed out to him. Hope someone can enlighten me about this. Does anyone had the same problem with CGFNS?

Cebu Pacific has a promo- Php1888 one way Manila-HK, call them, I don't think it's available on line. I checked their website and the promo is not there. As for the hotel, check out http://www.asiarooms.com. I think you should take time off from your work to concentrate on your review. Medyo mahal ang mga tests, dollars pa ang bayad.

Try to go to Bambang, the scrub suits are very cheap. :)

If you're here in the Philippines, I suggest you take IELTS because it's much cheaper than TOEFL/TSE. It costs Php8960. I received my scores for IELTS and my overall band score was 7 and received 7 for speaking. I'll just wait for my CG certificate and visa screen while I'm reviewing for NCLEX. I'm planning to take the NCLEX this March.

Thanks. :balloons:

Yup, they released the results at 1am here in the Philippines. I passed the exam!!!

I'll be waiting for my CGFNS letter before I leave, maybe around January or February. All I have is the eligibility letter from CA BON since I haven't paid for pearson vue yet. They gave me 1 year to schedule NCLEX, that gives me enough time to review again. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks. I'll be applying (fees and transcripts) for the visa screen this November and I'll be taking the english exam this December. Hope I can get my visa screen certificate after passing these exams. I just received my eligibility letter for CA BON. I was given a year to schedule my exam.:)
