to all those registered nurses especially to those who are new at applying for nclex,cvs,& cvs. i would advice them to go through the process of applying by themselves. i know it might be overwhelming at first or there are lack of information about it .but there are other avenues to get the right information. especially this website it has forums that will direct you to all your inquiries.too late for me thou i was'nt able to learn about this website before i went through that application center.let me tell you about the exorbitant fees they charge.lack of information they give and the promises they will tell. now i am in a limbo w/ my application being hold for almost a year now. that is not the only problem w/ them.they are now washing their hands off my application,they cannot give my money back. so be warned and don't get fooled like me.

If I may ask as to whom are you complaining with?
i am not compaining to anyone i just want to let future nurses who are gonna take their nclex know that i made a mistake of aapplying through this application center. i just want to warn them that it is not worth going to them because of what i had experienced w/ their so called services that is all. i don't want other people waste their money for noyhing which i eventually did when i applied using their services
It could have been better as well if you have read advise from senior members on these forums to post in proper sentence construction so that other readers would clearly grasp what you've posted.

Just to add also that i never let anyone process an exam application me. It is best to do it on your own since anyone can read and the internet is available 24/7 for our research. :nono:So, be careful not to be scammed. You learn as you go on your processing on each application.
I processed my CGFNS, IELTS, NCLEX exams.. all on my own. Anyone can do it.
It was just a blessing, that I found this wonderful and informative website, because I have learned a lot from the moderators and contributors on how to keep my exams' validity, what to do to renew, and also important updates.:bowingpur
Lastly, every application for a certain exam or nursing registration starts with research and some kind of planning, since nowadays, processing times now differ and takes a lot of time to do.
God Bless everyone!:heartbeat

There is also no application for the NCLEX exam, one must apply for licensure thru a Board of Nursing and then get approval from them to be able to sit for the exam.
We have been stating all along here that one should always take care of their own applications. If the nurse cannot understand the instructions, then they need to focus on their English skills first. Any application is quite simple in its requirements.
Sorry that you have gone thru this, but I would take the time to report this company to your government as well as the US Embassy located in your country.
Suspect that you are in the Philippines, as this is where we see these companies offering their services to take care of the applications.
But also noticed that you made mention of the CVS and that is for NY and NY only. And average wait time for getting that completed is about 8 months. Do you know for a fact what was ever done with your application for it? If you paid them a fee and then they never submitted your applications, then they can be taken to court. But if they have provided proof that they sent in the applications, then there is nothing to do to get the money back as no BON returns funds, and neither does CGFNS.
You need to find out what was actually done or not done.
If nothing done, then they need to be closed down.

Cannot really post name but people can ask via pm. This is really something you have to think about when going with an agency. There is no reason why you do not do it alone as you will have more control over where you end up and you do not have to worry about the high cancellation costs that agencies add if anything should happen
No agency should be used to complete these applications in the first place, so there is no reason to single out any of them.
If the nurse has trouble completing them, then they are never going to be successful as an RN in the US.
maybe i will never be succcessful as you say, but you might get all your info first before commenting why i had to go through an application center in the first place, and one of the many reasons why i had to go through an application center ma'm is that they promised me that they can processed my cvs in 2-4 months and not 8 months and that i can apply and take the nclex immediately after, and that i won't do anything else afterwards but it is only lies, now i ask them for a refund which they said they cannot give me. now i applied in a different state on my own ma'm,so i can take the nclex and if ever they want to know the name of that application center they can google it on the internet,they have a website.

the best person who can process your application is only you. i am hands on when it comes to my documents. those agencies are only after your money and they cant give utmost concern to your papers like you would do:heartbeat:heartbeat.
