Troubleshooting with CES-report

Published

Hi!
I have a few questions regarding my CES-report. So I did a CVS-report to get licensed in State of New York. It all went though and good, I got to sit the NCLEX exam, got my ATT - and last week I passed my NCLEX on my first try! Yay! ? So now I'm just waiting to get my license issued. However now to my concerns.

I also ordered a CES-report from CGFNS. In my report the state that I lack clinical hours of Maternity and infant nursing - that I have 0 hours. However I've called and talked to my school about it, and they figured and realised that they just lumping hours together in another category. My CES-report is saying the thing that differs me from someone with American education is the lack of those hours.

Now my concern is that even if I passed NCLEX and will be licensed in the state of New York I'll have a hard time to endorse my license to other states. Does anyone have experience of that?

Can I contact CGFNS about this issue and try to update my CES report? Or is that just giving me trouble?

Or Should I go through ERES with the correct information regarding the clinical hours to easier endorse my licensure to other states?

What would you do in my situation?

Not all states accept ERES. You could talk to CGFNS and see if they will accept an updated transcript from your nursing school. It could be an issue otherwise as some states still require some form of report if trained outside the US

If you endorse to another state they will ask you to go back to school and get those hours. Even though you already have a license , like they say every state is different and they don’t care about license in NY. Not every state accepts ERES.
