Wondering if you ended up taking the RCIS exam? I am planning to take it but still trying to find the right study resources… would love any recommendations if you found any!?

Federally or in AZ specifically, what nursing-related legislation would you like to see created/passed? Or upheld better? Just want to get a discussion going. For me I’d like to see Arizona’s HB2503 signed into law regarding assault against healthcare workers... hopefully soon!

Hi Karen, My status was “ready for review” from Nov 2018 through May 2019... 6 months! I contacted CGFNS a few times during that time to basically confirm they hadn’t overlooked my file but they didn’t give me much info. Fortunately when I heard from them in May the report was completely finalized. Hopefully it’s quicker for you!

Hi everyone, I'm American, but I graduated from a Canadian BSN program and have been working in Canada ever since. I do plan to move back to Arizona, so I went through CGFNS and (finally!) was issued my CES report last month. CGFNS did submit my CES to the AZ State Board of Nursing, but I haven't gotten any further information. Do I need to open an application with AZBN too? Or does my report automatically become my application? Thank you for any answers... I'm lost!

Hi everyone, Long story short I earned my BSN in Canada (UBC), passed the NCLEX in 2017, and have worked over a year as an RN in British Columbia. I have completed high acuity certification as well. Within the next year I am planning to move back to the US and want to continue working as an RN there (unfortunately I don't know which state yet... but will in a few months) My situation is unusual because I don't need a visa/permit to return to the States, but I still need to have my education & license credentials approved. From what I understand, the steps would be: Obtain a Credentials Evaluation Service Professional Report by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools Apply for licensure in the state I'm going to (once I know this) Then apply for an RN position Can anyone confirm this, or has anyone else been through this process? (Since I've taken the Canadian NCLEX it should transfer without me having to take another exam, right?)

Has anyone received their official "Letter of Admission" - either on the SSC or by mail? I'm an international student so I'm waiting on that letter to submit my study permit application. The sooner the better so I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking it somewhere...!

Is today the last day of interviews?

The interview offer emails asked us to confirm that we could attend the interviews by today (march 30th), so I'm assuming they're waiting to see how many people turn down the interviews/don't respond and then they'll fill up the empty spots!

Does anyone know what type of dress is appropriate for the interview?
