question about CGFNS CES Nevada

Published

Please help.

I'm an RN in the Philippines and will go to the US this May.

I'm planning to practice in Nevada and here is my dilemma:

Would it matter if I process CGFNS-CES first and TOEFL before submitting my application form in Nevada because as I understand the instruction, CGFNS is on step 1 or should they be processed at the same time? Sorry I'm new and confused. Thanks!

I'm currently in the PH and plans to process everything I can because no one will process my papers once I'm in the US. Please guide me. thanks

Yes, do CES first and also TOEFL. You will need to submit your scores before the CGFNS can issue report to Nevada.

As far as I understand the instructions, I will send the TOEFL results directly to NEVADA BON. Would that be okay if I haven't submitted my application form yet to the board because it is mentioned that do not send documents unless application form is submitted.

Sorry! I'm a bit confused there..

Correct my steps please

1.process CES

2.schedule for TOEFL exam

3.send TOEFL documents to BON

4.submit the BON application form to Nevada BON?

Check requirements on the BON website and if CES or required then get it done and then apply to the state. States will not look at applications until they are complete
