   ScottishNurse22 replied to Charlie_atkinson's topic in New York

   I haven't yet. I kind of abandoned it all in the upheaval of moving to the states. I'm not ready for my NCLEX yet either so going to do all this in the coming months.

2. UK RN to New York

   ScottishNurse22 replied to Charlie_atkinson's topic in New York

   Just to clarify, when I got my CES report there was a clause that said my degree was to an "American Standard" which made me think they were happy I had enough hours in each subject. I ended up coming over the PA on an L2 visa as a spousal ...

3. UK Staff nurse to US RN - is it possible?

   ScottishNurse22 replied to ScottishNurse22's topic in Immigration

   I'm not sure whether she was actually able to add it in at the end that was just me clutching at straws and asking on the off chance if it would account for something. I only had 37.5 hours in total for areas such as paeds and I'm not too sure h...

4. UK Staff nurse to US RN - is it possible?

   ScottishNurse22 replied to ScottishNurse22's topic in Immigration

   I've just had my CES report generated this week. It says my degree is "comparable to a US standard" and it's been sent to the BON. I've applied to Pennsylvania. I have 37.5 hours in both maternal and care of children and was worried it wasn't enough ...

5. Nurse making the jump from UK to USA, needing a bit of advice

   ScottishNurse22 replied to frand22's topic in Immigration

   But I'm not sure how I know if I have enough practical and theory hours in each field of nursing. Surely the BON needs to let me know if all is OK or if I'm lacking? Sorry if I've got this wrong, it just doesn't appear to say on my CGFNS report how m...

   Just an update. Received my CES report and it's been sent to PA BON. Still not sure if I have enough hours in each area - but nothing is zero so that has to be a bonus!

   ScottishNurse22 replied to frand22's topic in Immigration

   Thanks for your reply Melissa. You're right their website is terrible. I'm not really sure what to do next tbh, I don't want to apply until I have feedback from them re my CES report as not even sure if I meet the requirements for PA. But then again ...

   ScottishNurse22 replied to Charlie_atkinson's topic in New York

   That's great. PA is where my husbands is going for work. Do you know what I do once my CES report from CGFNS has been sent to the BON? I have registered with PA BON but haven't applied for licensure by exam as still don't know if I have enough hours ...

    Hi everyone I finally have my CES report. It's been sent to the Penn state board of nursing. What do I do now? Just from a quick glance - I only have 37.5 hours for maternal health and care of children - I somehow imagine that's not enough. Do ...

    Hi Courtney Finally CGFNS have accepted everything from me, I've purchased the expedited review so will be 10 working days before I know if all is good or not. If you have done some theory and practical in all fields then they will be reco...

    ScottishNurse22 posted a topic in Immigration

    I am really just about at the point of giving up on a nursing career in the US. Another knock back from the CGFNS, I have been in the process of doing this with the CGFNS since August 2022. Originally, they waived for an access to nursing co...
