I am a Canadian educated RN, wrote the NLCLEX in Canada, and currently working in NY state. I am going through the process to receive my CA license now and am wondering if I can use CGFNS to verify my education credentials (transcript, course verification) and to verify my other credentials (RN licenses in Canada and NCLEX proof). I had used CGNFS for this whole process in March 2019 for my NY state license. CA state board is very wishy washy with their answers and keep passing me between staff who have yet to be able to answer this. I spoke with CGFNS who says this is possible if I ask for and am granted an "exception" from the CA licensing board.
Has anyone successfully done this? I would just try it, however it is wasted time and money ($225) if unsuccessful. Any insight would be helpful!
Hi. How long did you wait for CGFNS to process your eDAS? I just updated my BSN transcript that was used in 2019 since it didn't have the conferred date.
Is the eDAS necessary for CGFNS to send our documents to the California BON? We just can't have them send our CES Report?

Not required as they have a educational breakdown form to be sent to the school.
I didn't have CES Report, only CGFNS Visa Screen so eDAS would include the info re. theory/clinical hours etc. I also requested the breakdown from my school though.
