Are you done with CGFNS-CES? If not, I suggest to do it first before sending your application to CTS (initial nursing licensing agency for Illinois). It's 2-4 months of processing so you have to wait. So while waiting, request for the FP card. Search through this site (or some Filipino nursing forums) regarding the contact person where you can request finger print card for ILDFR. I will try to search in my files if i have still that contact number but for the meantime, do the searching. Some Filipino nurses used the official FBI fingerprint card which you can get at the US embassy, Manila. There is an stamp in the FB card like New Mexico (or other states), just ignore it, anyway you will be filling up the intended requester which is the ILDFR.

CGFNS-CES already changed the names and descriptions of the two. Academic Report and Professional Report.

When did you pay and order at CGFNS? Did you use online ordering? Did they ask the intended report recipient?

If you based it on ILDFR, full education report is more acceptable that the course by course report. You can also use that report if you want to pursue specialization in nursing or masters degree in the US.

I suggest that you have to clarify this matter to either CGFNS-CES or Continental Testing Center so that your doubt will be over.

i did pay last mar9 and ordered professional report which i think specifically says its intended for me which i thought that academic report is for pursuing further education in us..

though i did try right now to email my queries to CTS for further knowledge about this..:confused:

There is a local or extension number for CGFNS-CES. Try this number (215) 387-7093 local 601. You already have your CGFNS-ID since you've just ordered from them. Even without CGFNS ID, you can still talk to a representative there. Just say to them that you have an inquiry. Also try to call CTS, they are easier to contact than CGFNS.

Keep on calling CGFNS (persistently), some customer service reps. there are Filipinos.

For the meantime, start forwarding the request form to your beloved Alma Mater and PRC.
