No they will issue a license without SSN but remember if actually wanting to work in another state then you will need to meet their requirement CVS will not be enough you may have to get CES

Hi

I am an NCLEX applicant for New York State. The CGFNS had already forwarded my Credential Verification Service report for this state two months ago but until now I don't receive any notice yet from my board of nursing regarding my application. How many months or years would usually it takes for me to finally receive an authorization to test from Pearson Vue from the time the CVS report for NY has been submitted. Does anyone know or have some idea about it? Please help. Thank you.:redbeathe:yeah:

Just want to clarify a few things. You won't be receiving an ATT from Pearson-Vue if you have not registered with them yet, it's not an automatic thing. They won't give you the ATT as well even if you registered to them (w/c you can do but not recommended) if they have not received anything from NY as well.

So, you really have to wait for NYSED for the eligibility letter. They will also furnish one to Pearson-Vue automatically and when Pearson-Vue has that on their database that is only the time Pearson-Vue can send your actual ATT form.

As for how long NYSED takes, there seems to be no definite time-line. Some have been quite reasonably fast, some quite long. It would be advisable if you contact NYSED and try and follow-up on it. Seems to be depending on their current job load. Good luck.

I am a Philippine Nurse license to practice in New York. If you really would want to work in NY, then start your application as early as now. I know it's a tedious process but it will pay off. New York does issue your license after passing all the reqts. Since the process is tedious I recommend that you take CGFNS CP while undergoing CVS. In that way you can ask your employer to petition you (after passing CGFNS examination and IELTS). You can also start your visascreen after having the CGFNS certificate. You can also use the certificate for a limited permit. HOwever, I still recommend that you take your NCLEX before leaving. While waiting for the CVS you can take the mandatory courses like child abouse and the infection control and have your certificates handy. Start reviewing and prepare your Form 1 as well. From the time CGFNS submits your credentials to NY BON, submit your FORM 1 asap including your certifctes and payment then contact them after 2 weeks. You need not to wait for their correspondents. Just call them because having the letters will prolong your waiting period. IF the person advises you that you are eligible for pearson registration ask her name for future reference. Registered with pearson and take the NCLEX. REmeber, NY BONs ATT is good for 90 days only. So you should be preprared from the time you register with pearson. GOD BLESS YOUR PLANS.

Contact New York State Education Department from 8:30 AM-4:00 PM ET. Get the Telephone number in their website. Ask the operator to transfer you the Nursing licensing Department. Ask about your file and what must be causing the delay. For me, I did not wait for the eligibility anymore. I contacted their office after two weeks and a lady said I am already eligible. I just asked her name for future reference. When I registered with pearson vue, NY made me eligble and pearson gave the ATT within 24 hours. Be proactive. Don't wait because it will take you long

NY has their own assessment with CGFNS called CVS and you need to go through that, the process takes approx 6-12 months before you reach eligibility to sit NCLEX. All information regarding licensure to be a RN in NY can be found here NY BONAre you planning on working in NY as we have seen many post that they have found it hard to find a petitioner in NY even those that did their training in the US and need petitioning to stay? If not then would recommend that you look at another state because you will have to meet their requirements when endorsing which will involve more money as many states require CES from CGFNS or another recognised assessment center. Also with retrogression you are looking at severl years before moving to the US with a valid work visa due to the high demand.

Just to add you are applying to be a RN in the US not applying for NCLEX. NCLEX is just a part of the application process.

I strongly suggest a good read in this forum, welcome and good luck

i am applying for a license in new york to be a rn. the thing is the people @ the post office over here are practicing their hocus-pocus-mumbo-jumbo antiques once again and my eligibility letter got caught in the crossfire . the only reason i found out that i am eligible to take the exam is because i e-mail nysed and they said i can already contact pearsonvue. still, can someone let me know if there are any important information on the eligibility letter that i should be mindful of?

Doubt it, your ATT will be issued by pearsonvue and that will have all relevant info
