Question about CES and VSC

Published

Is it possible if I'll apply online and pay for both services at the same time so the sending of documents will just be once instead of twice? There are similar requirements in the visascreen application and the CES such as license verification (from the PRC and state board of nursing), sending of diploma, etc. Or do I need to do everything twice, separately? Please help me, I'm really confused. Thank you.

I did both online at seperate times and had no problems but if you fill either form in wrong online and submit it the only way you can alter it is by sending letters which can be time consuming. We have seen on a few occasions on people filling it wrongly online. We do not recommend application for VSC until you have passed NCLEX as VSC has a time limit of 12 months and if you have delays with CES and application with BON you may end up having to pay for VSC again. You do not have to send documents again if applying at different times they can use the documents you have already sent

Never recommend on-line applications for the above reason that Anna mentioned. Have seen too many have issues because of one wrong number or something similar that was placed in the on-line app and it took months to get it corrected.

And yes, the same documents can be used.

Thank you to both of you. I've already applied online last month (I guess it's too late to cancel) but haven't paid yet and haven't sent the requirements yet. I am planning to send the required items very soon. But also, I will be needing cgfns to do the CES after the VisaScreen as I am planning to endorse the nclex test result to Michigan from California to be licensed in MI, I mean apply for licensure in MI with only a test result (therefore, cannot be called "endorsement"). Will the Ca BON be the one to forward my test result (only a test result as there is no permanent license for people without SSN) directly to the MI BON or is it Pearson Vue I will write for the forwarding of nclex test result to MI? Thank you.
