Question about Arizona

lawrence01 · May 4, 2006

does anyone here knows how things work in applying to Arizona. Im a fil nurse, ive been thinking to apply to NY but had a change of heart. My mom is in CAL and all of us know that its a long wait if I apply in CAL. Since Arizona is about 3 hours drive only from CAL, why not inquire about it... any info would really be a big help. Ive already seen the website of the BON of Az but real life experience from my fellow nurses would much be a big input. thanks...

AZ needs the CES but some say it's fast as reported by some posters here.

Check out this thread and look for AZ:

Will you be working in AZ or will be endorsing to CA? If you plan to endorse to CA later on why not consider Vermont or New Mexico instead. These 2 are reportedly fast too and you don't have to do the CES from CGFNS. They do their own evaluation of TORs as well.

Goodluck

CES can be fast, or it can be very slow. Depends on how quick that it takes for the school to send in the transcripts to be reviewed.
