I'm planning to apply for washington BON do you know if they require toefl for a foreign graduate(philippines)?or i can send a letter explaining that we where taught in english and all our books are in english as well?
Thanks
hi iamnomad did you pass your nclex rn yet?have you taken toefl before?what most people do is apply for CGFNS first (since it takes 4-6 months for them to process the CES after receiving all the requirements), then take English exam while waiting for the CES. Although you can start with the latter then CGFNS. Then around middle to end of your wait time for the CGFNS, apply to WA BON. Sure you can apply to WA first before doing anything, but that's just a complete waste of time and energy since they will not do anything on your application without those requirements. Also, there may be an expiration date from the the time you lodge your application - usually within a year.
One of my batchmates who can't get her ATT from CA, like so many kabayans recently, was unable to go foward with her application in WA.....NO S/S numbers, no go, we are all so disappointed now! Next state?
Try New Mexico. They don't require SS. They don't require CGFNS CES, other accepted evaluators are listed on the website, and those evaluators has Rush Service to finish evaluation in 1 day or 1 week etc.
Colorado waives SS only if you have a student visa.
i'm from washington too... i applied at vermont... (no toefl)...
aw. I should have research more before I applied to CALI.
The reason I applied to CAL because they don't require any local license.
I didn't take locals cause I'm already residing here already.
Just went to phil. to get my Nursing degree. last year.
does BONvermont will ask you to provide local license as one of the requirements?
