Thanks Moving400 for the detailed information. Looks like its important that someone in India has to followup on the transcript/vol. Yes, I am living in Houston but on H4 visa. I am going to write TOEFL anyways but from BON in Texas, it says toefl is required if the bachelors is not taught in English.

Thanks. Its a long process. Even getting the transcripts and form fillup by my univ is a pain. Decided to go with CGFNS anyways. Fingers crossed. Any guidance on the other clarifications listed in my first post? Thanks.

Hi All, Thanks in advance for your kind replies. I am seeking Registration through TEXAS board of Nursing. Summary: BSN from India (HYD) 4 year study + 2 year critical care Nurse Experience jan 2011 to Jan 2013 + Master of Hospital Management + 1 year administration experience Felt that getting a RN is the first step. Combed through this, BON website and called BON. Still am left with a need for a few clarifications : 1. How much time will it take for CFGNS evaluation? I know it depends upon India VOL but what is the estimate? Can it be expedited through any other procedures? 2. Would I need to take the refresher course or is there a chance the board will approve without refresher? (assuming that by oct 2015 I would be able to put in the application for licensure or nclex, I will have only 3. Will I need to take TOEFL/ELTS? My medium of instruction is in English. Doesnt look like it reading the info in the BON website. Just need confirmation. 4. Any links to quality posts on this website for further guidance Thanks!!!

Guri414, Did you get your cgfns evaluation? Is it the VOL which took time? And do you know if we can expedite it some how? I am planning to apply for cfgns and would like to know if alternative agencies are any faster. Regards, ... Seeking Registration through TEXAS board of Nursing.
