question about sending documents to CGFNS

[sueine]

HI I have a question about the requirement sending college transcripts, degree and license information to CGFNS that needs to be sent directly from my home country college and license board. I`m a graduated nurse from Brazil currently looking to get my RN license in Idaho, I`m having a hard time getting the forms sent directly to CGFNS and I`m trying to figure out if I can just get all the documents and translations on a sealed envelope from my college and local Brazil board and send them myself on the mail to CGFNS. I wonder what would be the difference if the envelope is sealed and has a stamp if the the documents are sent by them or by someone else. It`s not that hard to have the documents on a sealed envelope but getting that sent to CGFNS is not easy and it would be a lot easier if I could send it myself.

Also, I`d like to understand if it`s worth attempting to get my RN license on a State that does not require the CP, but just the CES. Would it be a lot easier to get CGFNS approval without taking the exam? I probably would have a chance to move to Colorado since my husband can work in both Idaho or Colorado, we choose Idaho because we have good contacts in hospitals and it would be easier to get a job here, but there is no easy job if I don`t get my license so being much easier to get my license in Colorado would make the move a good choice.

I`m not currently looking for any VISA requirements since my husband`s employer is pursuing a greencard and I currently have a VISA that allows me to work so I just need to satisfy the license requirements.

The other question I have is about "employment record", ID BON requires a employment record for foreign educated nurses looking for the RN license, I`ve worked as a resident nurse for 2 years 2009/2010. Does anyone know if that would be valid as a employment record?

As long as the envelope is sealed there is nothing stopping you from arranging postage. I did it a few years ago with my school of nursing and my transcripts was collected from the school once it was ready by my preferred carrier and was accepted
