Reciprocity

[mushymash, ASN, RN]

h'lo everyone...

i'm from the Philippines and i just wanna ask something, hope u can help me.....

does anyone knows what state MICHIGAN accepts reciprocity for?

i wanted to work there (my sister lives there), but i don't want to take their CGFNS exam...

i was thinking i could directly take NCLEX of a different state and just apply for RECIPROCITY at Michigan...

but, i just don't know which NCLEX state i should take that MICHIGAN would accept...

thnx....

there is no such thing as reciprocity. period. it exists only for the nclex exam, it has nothing to do with licesnure, and has not since nclex exams came into being. when each state had its own exam, then we had reciprocity, depending on your score. it no longer exists.

if you wish to work in mi, you must take the cgfns exam. no way around it. they will not issue you a license without a passing score on the exam.

michigan requires the cgfns exam, for initial licensure as well as endorsement.

there is already much on this topic. please take the time to do a search.
