Hi there, I'm not 100% sure but I think CGFNS sent my results directly to MD BON. In your case, NY BON/New York State Education Department should assess your foreign nursing education/CGFNS report and determine if you are eligible to sit for the NY NCLEX exam. If I were you, I would email CGFNS and ask if your report has gone to the relevant body OR do you have to send it yourself. Additionally ask what next steps you need to take. I have found a link which might prove helpful for you. Hope it helps: https://www.cgfns.org/services/authentication-and-verification/credential-verification-service-for-new-york-state/#:~:text=Service for New York State®?,the applicant's credentials for licensure.

Hi there, This means that your CGFNS evaluation was successful and your UK nursing degree has met the US requirements for a Batchelors degree in Nursing in NY. It will now be sent to NYBON who will contact you re: NCLEX. Congratulations on your successful transcript evaluation.

Of course, Nav22! Do you have an email address?

Hello there, I have no idea if this is possible I would suggest your husband contacts the programme leader to find out his options. And, just for clarification, I am an Adult RN. I just happened to have placements and theory content which was accepted by CGFNS. Every programme has different course content. Good luck!

I havenât got a nurse license here in CA but Iâm aware of how difficult it would be to get one. It looks like we may be moving to Virginia and I was wondering if any U.K. nurses have managed to get their license in Virginia and if I would still have deficiencies in paeds, obstetrics and psych there? Any information appreciated. Thank you Quote Multi #2 Silverdragon102 , Jun 10th 2021 12:41 pm BE Forum Addict Re: U.K. nurse to Virginia, USA Each state is different and some have managed to get licensed but really the only way to know is to apply and see what happens Quote Multi #3 ottotheboar , Jun 13th 2021 7:10 am BE Forum Addict Re: U.K. nurse to Virginia, USA I do not know the process here in Virginia but a friend of one of our sons graduated from University with a degree in nursing. There are also community colleges to look at. Quote Multi #4 Eviecam67 , Jun 13th 2021 8:56 pm Just Joined Re: U.K. nurse to Virginia, USA Hi Laura, I'm a UK trained nurse BSc. Adult nursing.

Will really appreciateI did the process many years ago and I was fortunate to train as a general nurse so didnât have any issues with meeting US state requirements. We have seen posts from many who do struggle to meet requirements because on how the UK trains their nurses but some have managed to meet some states and others donât. Definitely a luck of the draw.

Good luck.Hi, My partner is a Neonatal nurse and she is trying to apply for NCLEX in US, however, she doesn't have the clinical hours in adult and mental health, as she has been working in Neonatal since she finish her BSc, do you think it will be hard for her to apply? Do you know how to meet the clinical hours that the BON require? Thank you. Quote Multi #12 Eviecam67 , Mar 18th 2022 4:21 pm Just Joined Re: Hi Everyone, Having been reviewing sites like this for a long time before I finally applied for my transcripts to be evaluated, I knew that as a UK trained nurse, I would be deficient in certain areas such as: maternal/infant, paediatrics and mental health. Initially my transcript didn't meet the necessary requirements that CGFNS had, They explained I had experience in everything except maternal and infant health, However, one of my community placements involved exposure to it, and therefore after much discussion and verification between my university and CGFNS some of my community hours were transferred to Maternal & infant health. Fortunately, this enabled my CGFNS application to be successful which enabled me to apply to, and be successful in the Board of Nursing putting me forward for my NCLEX exam (which I haven't sat yet). As a UK trained registered nurse, who has a BSc in Adult Nursing this would normally mean that my transcript and training would be deficient in Maternal Health, ObstetrIics, Peadiatrics and Mental Health. However, during my training, I had several 7 week community placements which included: Working with a health visitor who was involved with family planning, pre/post-natal clinics, mother and baby groups, breastfeeding group, home visits for newborns, infants, parents/carers, etc, In addition, every week I spent 4 hours every Monday morning researching and reviewing all the teaching material, local and national policies, evidence based research and practice, peer reviewed articles, learning materials etc and then questioned on these policies by my mentor and her line manager, iI also had a 7 week surgical placement in Gynaecology. These placements more than covered the necessary theory and practice hours required for Maternal and Infant Health. Regarding Paediatrics - I undertook a 7 week community placement which included dealing patients in a Young Physically Disabled Unit. This included dealing with their physical and mental disabilities. From complete paralysis, verbal and non verbal patients, epilepsy, bi polar, drain care and changes, catheter care, wound dressing, NG tubes feeding, dialysis, diabetes, cerebal palsy, IV fluids, all medication routes etc - there was a vast variety of exposure to caring for children and young adults. Along with the theory covered and learned whilst on the placement, many theory hours were covered during my first year of University (common foundation year). Mental Health - I had a variety of community placements which included a significant amount of exposure to patients suffering from mental health issues such as: depression, addictions, bi polar, self harming, post natal depression, psychosis, learning difficulties, etc. Many inhouse training days, professional development days took place, along with reviewing and tutorials on all relevant local and national policies, peer reviewed articles, gold standard pathways etc to ensure the best possible care was given, Some theory was also covered in my common foundation year at university. All of this was enough to ensure that I had more than enough theory and clinical hours for this area. After I got the transcript evaluation from CGFNS I then contacted the Maryland Board of Nursing who then said I was eligible to get my background check and fingerprints taken, then go and sit my NCLEX exam. However, I've just moved to another state and will have to apply the Florida Nursing Board, All the very best, Evie

Hey Lauren, I did all my training, in theory and clinical hours in the UK (Scotland). NB: CGFNS sent my evaluation and explained I didn't have anything for Maternal Health, However, I then called them to ask what was required for Maternal Health and they told me. I then had to go back and review all my clinical and theory hours myself (as I was certain that my community placement with the health visitor and also my surgical placement in gynaecology would possibly cover the missing hours). I reviewed my portfolio as I kept a detailed account of ALL my placements. It was with this info that I then approached the programme leader at my university to ask if they would write to CGFNS confirming that I had this experience. They took months to confirm and verify this was the case and then contacted CGFNS. CGFNS assigned my hours accordingly.

H Lauren/Everyone looking for advice, Having been reviewing sites like this I used to feel so deflated about my chances of getting a positive transcript evaluation. However, I finally applied knowing that as a UK trained nurse, I would be deficient in certain areas such as: maternal/infant, paediatrics and mental health. Unsurprisingly, my transcript didn't initially meet the necessary requirements that CGFNS require. They explained I had experience in everything except maternal and infant health, However, one of my community placements involved exposure to it, and therefore after much discussion and verification between me, my university and CGFNS some of my community hours were transferred to Maternal & infant health. Fortunately, this enabled my CGFNS application to be successful which enabled me to apply to, and be successful in the Board of Nursing putting me forward for my NCLEX exam (which I haven't sat yet). As a UK trained registered nurse, who has a BSc in Adult Nursing this would normally mean that my transcript and training would be deficient in Maternal Health, ObstetrIics, Peadiatrics and Mental Health. However, during my training, I had several 7 week community placements which included direct contact and experience in these fields. I was extremely fortunate that my placements and theory covered this. I am fully aware that 'normally' my type of degree wouldn't meet the criteria to nurse in the US. NB: I must stress that my university HAD TO clearly highlight that I was an Adult trained nurse and not General Trained (like here in the US) But, after much deliberation and verification they did provide evidence that I had indeed experience and exposure to these areas during my training, whilst on my Community placement . Here is a summary of how this was achieved, in my instance. : Working with a health visitor who was involved with family planning, pre/post-natal clinics, mother and baby groups, breastfeeding group, home visits for newborns, infants, parents/carers, etc, In addition, every week I spent every Monday researching and reviewing all the teaching material, local and national policies, evidence based research and practice, peer reviewed articles, learning materials etc and then questioned on these policies by my mentor and her line manager.

Of course! Happy to help

Hi there, I applied whilst in the USA, and apllied to Mayland Board of Nursing. I did it all through the MD BON and CGFNS and it took a year (but we had the pandemic and lits if back and forth). I have a BSc. in Adult Nursing. Luckily, due to my curriculum, placements and theory - I wasn't deficient in any areas. I'm now studying to sit my NCLEX exan. Happy to give you any info you need.

Hello, I've just successfully completed CGFNS and currently waiting on ny ATT. Wasn't easy - but can be done. I'm BSc Nursing (Adult) from Scotland, and was a perioperative practitioner. Message me if I can help in any way. Good luck.

I'm a UK trained BSc Nursing (Adult) and I'm now waiting for my ATT to sit my NCLEX. Hasn't been an easy journey, in fact, its been EPIC - SO MUCH NEGATIVITY towards UK trained nurses amd their chances of gaining registration (not including allnurses.com in that blanket statement). But, my nurse training frkm Scotland more than met ALL requirements. So, I'm proof it's not all doom and gloom. Happy to help, if you need me.

Hello there, I really hope someone can help, please.. Does anyone happen to know the theory and clinical hours required for MD RN licensure? I've searched for several days, on MD BON, internet, and this forum and cany find the answer anywhere. I'm a UK trained nurse, and I know I need theory and clinical hours in: Med, Surgical, Peds, Obs, Mental Health and Gerontologic in order to get registered. Thank you very much in advance

Hello everyone, Sorry to to bump this thread, but I'm looking for some advice. I'm married to a USC. I'm a Degree educated UK adult nurse currently working in a UK hospital in Recovery. I'm trying to find a school in MD, Annapolis, specifically, that would enable me to undertake, my missing modules - obs, paeds. I have tried several colleges without success. I have also tried to contact the MD BON to see if they are aware of any school offering this option- unfortunately I'm still waiting on a reply. If anyone could offer any advice I'd be very grateful. Thank you very much.
