question about endorsement to Maryland

Published

Hi

I am licensed in California and I want to endorse my license to maryland.

Does CES (Credentials Evaluation Service) from CGFNS is a requirement to MD BON before I can endorse? can't I just use my CGFNS certificate for that?

Thanks.

try to visit the MB board of nursing website but i presume you dont have your SSN yet so i doubt if your endorsement will be aprove since they need your license number.

You need to go to the website for Maryland and follow their instructions that are posted there. It is their requirement that needs to be met, and they make the final decision on what they will accept.

If you have taken the CGFNS exam in the past, then suggest that you contact them to get their approval for using that in place of the CES, but since the two items are so different and being able to write the CGFNS exam does not give you the same type of credentials eval that most state boards of nursing now want, more than likely they will need the CEs, but you need to get the information from them.

They are actually stricter than many other boards of nursing in their requirements.
