Thanks eric813us, I just created a FB group. Is UWF FNP Spring 2020. If you know anyone else that wants to join please invite them. Thanks

Congratulations to those that have been accepted in UWF-FNP program for Spring 2020. They have reached out by email, then got a message from my advisor and eventually got the letter. Has anyone started a Facebook group yet? I hear is a good way to stay connected. If there's none then I will start one. Thanks.

Grantham University has only DETC accrediattion, no CCNE.

Now we can see the reality as it is...lol...thank you ghillbert. Probably they did this to make it harder, or God knows why. My big frustration is that I have 7 years of nursing, did 2 nursing schools and because this nutrition and mental health hours missing( there was the school's secretary mistake who didn't know how to separate Psychiatric form Neuro;I had 72 h total and she separated 30 Psych and 42 nuro without any criteria) course I can't take Nclex now. Btw, I'm US citizen, Florida resident since 2005. Thank you guys for your answers. I'm still praying to don't have to deal with CGFNS again.

It doesn't matter where you live in the US, except NY, Ces-Cgfns request for academic records application is the same for each state. I did study nutrition as part of other class work(I already mentioned), not as an individual course as they study here. At that time my school was the only nursing school from my city(is the capital-city of my country) and was a state school, so was and is accreditated.

I have friends in the US who graduated in the same year with me, the same school, but they had validated their education last year or few years before 2009, when CGFNS had other requirements. I even have somebody's copy of request for academic records completed by our school, where nutrition was required as "other courses", not as an important course work(as they require starting with January 2009). I did a lot of nutrition, one or two semesters as in clinical theory classes here or adult health care, but I can't prove as my school doesn't have any official papers. So,if I can't prove it,it doesn't exist... Thank you so much for taking time answering. I really appreciate it.

I'm located in Tallahassee, Florida. I have here few school options, but I thought online it will be more convenient time wise. Hmmm...I know what it says, but why CGFNS needs to evaluate my courses which I'll take them here? It's awkward. I thought CGFNS validates/evaluates only studies made out of the US. I was so happy I wouldn't need to deal anymore with CGFNS....I still hope though. What is funny is that I know so many RN's from my country who graduated the same school and they didn't need any other hours or courses.

Thank you so much for the answer.I really appreciate it. I have to google to see what is CLEP and see how it works and also what are their prices. I'll also call BON next Monday hoping I'll be able to talk with somebody from education dpt. Quick question: after I take these classes where do I send the courses completion? To the FL BON or CGFNS? I'm asking because in the letter I've got it from FL BON they say: "additional material relevant tp the education evaluation must be forwarted to CGFNS, included in a revised report and sent directly to BON". Hope to hear other opinions.

Hello, I'm a foreign educated nurse. I evaluated my education with CGFNS-CES and FL BON decided that I'm lacking few theory hours of Pshychiatric nursing as well as coursework in nutrition. Is there anybody who took some missing courses/hours online? How it usually works? BON gives you some choices of Schools or I suppose to find it by myself? I may need to go to a meeting with the FL- BON Education Committee on Dec 3rd(waiting for further notification) on another city(9h of driving), but calling FL BON I couldn't find anybody who could tell me something about the purpose of this meeting. Anybody knows anything about the reason of these meetings? Thank you

Scamming, fishing or however you want to name it, my gut is telling me they are taking advantage of people, they are playing a dirty game, and all this is not right, guys.

There are 2 weeks and the school didn't receive anything. I'll wait one more week and if they'll not receive anything I've have to change my plans. The ideea is that I'll not let them to fool me and play with my nerves and money like they do with others. If I must have authorities involved I'll do it. Good luck!

I know I'm not the only one who goes through the same experience with CGFNS. There are many ways of scamming people.I'll never understand why they ask for the same papers 2-3-4 times(there were cases). Probably they do it because they can. If I'd need to do it again, I'll never choose this company again.The customer service gives you standard answers, not answers regarding your case. I'm still waiting for more experiences with them.

I applied for CES at CGFNS in January. In Feb-March they've got all the papers they need to start processing my case. Over the night my status changed. I called and they told me that my original transcript doesn't match the translation of the transcript,so they sent a letter to my school where they were asking for more details. The secretary from my nursing school is very sure there isn't any mistake,Cgfns is asking for the all papers again. I feel like I'm being scamed by CGFNS. There are a lot of money,stress,frustration involved. I'd like to hear other stories about CGFNS, positive or negative. Thank you!
