Hi everyone, I just recently passed my NCLEX-RN, and I applied for New Jersey. My parents are both nurses in new york and would like me to also work in new york. I went on the NY licensure requirements website(NYS Nursing:License Requirements) and it says that I have to apply for CVS from the CGFNS. I had already finished applying for my CES months ago since that was a requirement to be licensed in new jersey to sit for the NCLEX exam. Do i have to resend all my documents to CGFNS for my CVS that came from my school, or will they still have the documents? I'm already back here in new jersey and have no time to go back to the Philippines to do that. Do i still have to apply for the CVS when I had already finished and passed my exam?
It says the requirements are:
To be licensed as a registered professional nurse in New York State you must:
At the end of all the requirements it has this:
Nurses Licensed in Another State
If you are licensed as a nurse in another state, you must provide the New York State Education Department with verification of that licensure. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) handles verification of licensure for a majority of states through their Nurse System (Nursys). You can check to see if the state(s) where you are licensed as a nurse participates in Nursys by visiting their Web site at www.nursys.com or by calling them at 1-866-819-1700.
If the state(s) where you are licensed as a nurse participates in Nursys, you must request verification of your licensure from Nursys, not the state(s).
Is the last step the only thing I have to do? Or do I have to apply on CGFNS again for the CVS. I hope they still have my documents that my school sent them for the CES so i don't have to go back to my school again. Has anyone else been in this situation? I appreciate anyones advice! thank you!

You have to go through CVS as a International trained nurse and this includes endorsing license. They should be able to use the documentation already received for CES
