You’re a God sent!! ❤ I literally felt like l was going mad trying to get this information. Thank God I came across your video… congrats on your success and further endeavors 😊
I just watched your video,we almost have the same type of back ground i was born and raised in California moved to the Philippines when i was around 14 years old to finish up high school and to school college there in iloilo im currently set to graduate within 4-5 months. Thank you very much for your video its very informative its certainly gonna help me on what to expect later on! Congratulations on becoming a USRN 💯
Thank you so much for this. We actually have the same background. Born and raised in the US, moved to the Philippines at age 15. Graduated nursing in Bohol and now have to file for NCLEX in Florida.
Nice! Our process should be similar then because one of my classmates is also from Florida and received her ATT recently by doing the exact steps I mentioned in the video 😊 Good luck!
Please after passing the nclex in Texas which doesn’t need ilets.if you hold Italian passport which I don’t need visa.To usa .is it possible to come direct usa direct after getting a job .
oh my god, suuuuper helpful!! congrats on being a USRN, girl. i'm in the same spot, graduated march 2020, and eventually started my application to the US last month after they postponed the boards for the 3rd time. thanks for the help

Hi! Thank you a very informative video. With the CGFNS i got stuck with putting my education information which is odd which i think i did it right. Your guidance is highly appreciated.
Thank you so much for this video, si such helpful (I’m a BScN student from Switzerland, planning to apply for the NCLEX after I’ll graduate in my home country ☺️)
OMG... am so happy to stumble across your video.. Am from the Caribbean and is also looking to become a USRN. The process is nail biting. Thank you for the time and effort you've placed in this video. How can I get intouch with you? Maybe an email address or Instagram?
Hi I'm currently here in Texas with visa for marriage and I've been repeating your video multiple times for NCLEX processing in Texas. I have a license in Philippines and has 6 months experience in working. I found out that Texas needs 4 years experience. Now I'm losing hope 😭
This is such a detailed video! Thanks for doing this! I am an RN in Canada for 11 yrs now. But planning to move to the US soon so this was very helpful especially on the part of not having an active license in the Phils. I just have one question though, was your CGFNS exam waived as well?
Hi!! So sorry for the late reply, UA-cam didn’t notify me about your comment! The CGFNS exam is a requirement for some states only as part of the CGFNS certification program (CP), which is required by Nebraska for example. As for Texas and most other states, a CES report will suffice so the CGFNS exam is not needed. :)
@@IoneNicole The part when CGFNS waived your prc stateboard verification, how long did that take from the time you explained to them your situation until they finally waived it? Because I think I will have to ask them to waive that for me as well, considering that it hasn't been active for more than a decade already, and that I am licensed in Canada as an RN anyway.
Hi, thanks for a great video. Just one question . if you went to multiple primary and secondary schools.. do you need to include all that in your cgfns history? I went to three different primaries and two secondary. Do I just use the most recent primary and secondary or use all
Hi! Did you give them any documents/proof saying that your university taught you in English? My university taught us in English too but I don't know if I can take my NCLEX without TOEFL or IELTS. Thank you :)
Hi Ion, thanks for your very informative video. I know this is an old video. I am in the process of applying cgfns. I am a Fil-am citizen but graduated in the Philippines. I don't have a nursing license too. My question to you about the cgfns, on the left side portion of profile do we need to fill up starting from personal info down to personal profile summary? How about the english language profeciency test, specialty cert info etc? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the video. Im planning to take my nclex again in saipan because im done with their cgfns background check. My question is, what happen if i pass the nclex in Saipan. Can i use that license tp work here in the US and if yes. What states? Im residing Iowa right now and while im digging about nclex i read some articles regarding NLC membership state. Please kindly walk me through it
Can you tell me when can pay 250 $ to speed up my application I have been waiting for six months .Thank you for your very comprehensive vedio I wished I find you before that I have to end up 800$ to CGFNS beacuse of my mistake .
You’ll be eligible for expedited review ($250) once your documents are being evaluated. :) However, 6 months is a long time so you may be lacking documents. I recommend calling CGFNS to resolve this. 😊
Hi Ione, there is a "Request for License/Registration/Diploma" form and not sure if it's just the state where I will be registering or you forgot to mention about it? Please let me know. Thank you for this content. It's very helpful!
Hi, that’s the License Validation form which I discuss at 9:02 :) I had this form waived because I’m not a license holder in my country of education. If you do hold a license in your country, this is the form you bring to your country’s licensing authority & they will fill it out & send it to CGFNS. 😊
Omgg.. I found your channel . Thank you so much for doing this., 🥰 I'm from Maine, and I graduated Bsn year 2009... gosh that was long time ago but deep in my heart I really want to pursue the usrn. But I once failed our PNLE way back long time ago 😂. so i have question. do you think it would affect my application process?
hi friend,. I need your piece of advice here. Glad that I found your video, kinda relate to your situation before. I am a RN in the Philippines. I live in Utah but can I process CGFNS CES and take NCLEX Texas ? Utah needs CP and so much requirements its so frustrating. Can I take Texas instead? Hoping for your response Nicole., ☺🙏🙏🙏
Hi Ione, watched this vid couple of times, just want to clarify, my CGFNS status is ready for final review, I have made an account on Texas BON website but I haven't applied for a license or paid for an application thru Texas BON yet, will it be okay? I am bit worried that there might be some conflict once CGFNS has sent the report to Texas BON and I haven't applied for the license.
Hi! Yeah that will be okay. When your report is sent over, the BON just kind of holds onto it and once you make an account there and input your name etc, the BON is able to match it up with your sent over CGFNS report :)
Hi maam, do you have any idea on the span of time it would take to get my att after all the requirements are sent? Because im still waiting for my fingerprint card to arrive in TN? Thank you so much
It varies by state to be honest! For texas, once all my requirements were approved, it took about 2 weeks to get my ATT but I think other states work faster. ☺️
Quick question is there a program you recommend for somebody that finished nursing school a few years back but has not taken the Nclex? I’ve been working as an Lvn and never set up a test date for nclex. But I feel like I will fail if I take it. Is there a program that gives you like a refresher course?
I think you can take NCLEX review classes if that’s what you mean! I know some people take Mark Klimek lecture classes, Rachel Allen classes, etc. I know a friend who attended an in-person Rachel Allen review session and went on to pass the exam. 😊
Your video eased my anxiety in preparing to apply for the NCLEX, I’m a dual citizen too. I just have a question regarding on how you completed your cgfns profile, because I was making one right now and there was a section about Language Proficiency Test, and there was no option for non-applicable. I did not take any language test so I really don’t know how to go about this part 😅 Do I just skip that section and do the submit and transmit to cgfns? Or do I call the contact number they have, before I submit all the info?
Hello :) Thank you so much for this video Nicole. You're always been brilliant ever since I've known you. Lifts me up! I just have a question, I hope you don't mind. One of my friend advised me to just process personally the application to take NCLEX exam; however I already had my connection with Health Carousel. I just don't know which step is best for me to proceed. I would like to ask for you advise on this one. Should I just continue with my current process with Health Carousel? or Should I restart and do the process myself. My friend told me that a disadvantage of having health carousel process my application is that they will deduct a significant amount from my salary, soon when I will be working abroad already. Looking forward on your advise. Thanks!
Hi dear! Thank you so much for the detailed video! I have a question, I'm in Europe and I am applying for Texas as well. Is it possible to mail a fingerprint card for the Criminal Background check? Because it only allows me to book an in-person appointment? Thank you😊
Hello Ione! I'm new to your channel and I just want to say thank you for sharing your process. I'm also a dual citizen and will be graduating soon and applying for CA. I just have one question during your journey, did you have to deal with the PRC forms? (Cases of patients during clinical hours/ duties) just curious if that's also applicable when applying for the NCLEX?
Hi! Your clinical hours & whatnot will be filled out by your school when you give them the needed CGFNS forms to submit but that’s pretty much all in my experience. :)
I followed every single steps u did… I passed NCLEX this week from London and got my license from Texas board of nursing. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Hi Ione my school sent my TOR to CGFNS then when i called the CGFNS they said they recieved and sent already to New York State of education but the NYstate said to me that i need to send my another TOR directly to their address here in newyork coz they said CGFNS sent them the same record i dont understand now hayss😔
Hi. Thank you so much for this video. Just wanna ask if work experience is one of the requirements for this state before they grant you eligibility to take exam?? Thanks.
Have you been struggling with NCLEX be it LPN or RN, have you taken the exam for more than once? Are you taking it for the first time? Do you have a too busy schedule to study? Get to Dr Needham for your NCLEX assistance. I’m so happy I finally passed my exams thanks to him. He’s got a magical qbank which will help you become a RN
Thank you so much for a detailed video, so helpful. I have one question, I am an RN for over 7 years, I first started practicing 7 years ago after my Diploma in Nursing (which is the minimum for practicing in my country), a few years ago I decided to further my education and received my BSC in Nursing through an expedited programme that lasted for 3 years in a Ghana, which is another country as I'm Nigerian and had my Diploma and practice in Nigeria. Now I'm filling out the CGFNS forms and it's asking for my minimum educational qualification (one which allows me practice as a nurse in my country), my question is should I put in there my Diploma or should I put in my BSC, knowing that I just concluded my BSC last year 2021. Second question, in submitting my transcript, who will be submitting it, my school of Nursing (diploma) or my BSC . Thanks
I have a doubt regarding Att and booking exam date. My doubt is whether we need to write the exam before expire CGFNS report issue date (one year validity) or will consider state board application submit date validity My Cgfns report issue January 2021 and state board applications submitted July 2021. Kindly please clarify my doubt when should I complete my exam (before January 2022 or July 2022).
Hello!! Thanks for this video. It was really helpful! I have a question, though!! My CES report says I have less hours than required by the Florida BON. Do I still make an application with them, or do it wait for them to contact me regarding how to complete this hours first? Thank you!
Hmm I’ve never dealt with this situation but I would contact the Florida BON and ask them what they do in cases like this before I submit an application with them! ☺️
Hello , I'm international nursing student, after we apply for NCLEX exam ,can we do it ,in our own country via online. Other all the process we can do via online but exam how about it, because in this time I'm unable to move USA, please can you tell me what should I do for this problem
Thanks so much for the video. Quick question though, on the CGFNS website, it says that you need to meet SOME of the following criteria A. You graduated from an accredited nursing education program in your country of education B. You are licensed as a Registered Nurse in another country C. You’ve practiced as a Registered Nurse for at least two years before. It's the phrasing of "some" of the criteria that I'm confused with, specifically for criteria C Do I definitely have to work for 2 years in my home country (which would take me to the end of 2022) before I can even consider applying to work in the US? I meet all the other criteria, and as I was educated at an Australian university, I don't need to complete any sort of language testing
Hi! So my video is really just geared towards being able to simply take the NCLEX, rather than the specific processes to come over to the US after passing which require a visa, etc because I’m not too knowledgeable on those steps. To answer your question, that is something I’ve wondered myself because I know some people who only had a year of work experience and then they were able to find a nursing staffing agency who would take them. I think the amount of work experience may depend on the agency, and I’ve also heard that sometimes work experience in your home country isn’t even required as long as you’re a new grad. Basically I’ve heard mixed things regarding the work experience part and I’m still trying to find out what’s true. 😊
@@IoneNicole Thank you very much for the reply. One more question. So I'm from Australia and I've read on forums that our degrees are particularly deficient in OBGYN and paediatrics compared to the US. I'm guessing that when you get the CGFNS report back, they wouldn't be able to point you in the right direction as to how make up the deficit in your experience, they just point out that the deficit exists. But have you seen any criteria in terms of minimal theory and practical hours, as well as the "level" of qualification (e.g. graduate certificate vs. graduate diploma vs. masters) required for each of the separate disciplines? Or do you know of any agencies that help guide prospective applicants re: this process? Would hate to go spend money and time on a course only to find out after the fact once my credentials are re-evaluated by CGFNS that it doesn't meet the necessary requirements.
@@IoneNicole I guess another way of asking my question would be, were you 2 years post-grad at least? I guess what I'm wondering is are applicants not even eligible for a CGFNS evaluation of your credentials if you aren't at least 2 years post-grad based on the above statement I put in the first comment? My partner and I were particularly interested in going to Texas or Florida by 2023 and we are both in our first year post-graduate.
@@maddisonclayton1172 I was not 2 years post-grad :) I graduated in August 2020 and applied with CGFNS right away. I actually haven’t heard of anyone being found deficient by CGFNS standards! All my Filipino friends had no issues having their credentials evaluated. In the US, I think it’s just California that is strict regarding OB, etc and in that case, they’ll tell you to go back to school and for what courses.
Hi ! You did a great job with your vblog. Very informative. Thank you for sharing it .I have something question ... how to up load the ID photo ... when you’re filling up the CGFNS application. Do you think we can do it via Celpon ?( iPhone 10 or any iPhone or do we need a computer for that.Thank you so much.I really appreciate it.
Hi! You should use a computer or laptop to be safe when filling out your CGFNS application. :) You can access the website on your phone but it is a little hard to navigate so I really recommend a laptop/computer.
Thanks for the information po.. I just want to ask Yung form 2 at form ... What Bond paper to be used in printing?.. short or long bond paper?... Thank you
Hello I’m Sofi, from Nepal, question, I did my CES evaluation process through CGFNS and my report was issued to MA a year ago, now I had to move to Newyork for some reason and I see there is a different requirement like CVS, will I be able to transfer my evaluated certificate to Newyork or do I have to start process all over again? I need help any help will be great. Thank you
I did not because Texas is one of the states that doesn’t require it for the NCLEX :) However if you’ll be needing to apply for a US visa in the future, then the english proficiency test is a requirement for that. 😊
Hello po thanks for the video very informative..I'm having a hard time pa nman on where and how to start..by the way po where can I get the form po para dun sa license and TOR ?

I have my green card and must move to Texas within the next 2 mths. I am not a registered nurse as I have just completed my BSN program at a foreign university within the English speaking Caribbean. Could I still write the NCLEX ?
Hi nicole... I'm in the processing with my ces application .. however they required me to take an English proficiency exam. I'm from cebu as well and the university I graduated taught in English... how did cgfna exempt you from taking the English prof. Test? Did you provided any prof from the university?
Hi! It depends on the state because some states require an english test no matter what, but other states such as Texas don’t require an english test to take the NCLEX :) If your university taught in english, your school will indicate that on your CGFNS form when they fill it out!
hi i am appling for nclex i already registered to bon texas but in my case i do iy by myself,i am cmpleting my profile in cgfns i think texas didnt rquire for ielts i cant complete my profile because they need my ielts?
Hello, ph graduate here. do you need to have ph license to be able to have texas license? I actually have but its expired, do i need to declare it or no need anyway its expired. Thanks in advance!
hi. im planning to purchase the ces service too and i was just wondering how i could submit the forms back to the philippines since im currently in the US right now. do i have to sign the forms first and then have them shipped to the philippines or can someone else sign it for me? thank you
For this, I’m not sure! My RLE hours were evaluated by CGFNS and not the BON. CGFNS deems whether or not my RLE hours are sufficient or similar to what US nursing students experience and if it is, that is the information they pass along to the BON. :)
Hi Ione, I want to start my CGFNS process but I’m in the US. Can you explain to me how exactly your friend back home helped with the forms? Did you print and sign the forms and then mail it to her? Thanks in advance.
Really appreciate your video. I need your help please. I'm planning to reregister for NCLEX RN exam and I'm concerned about verification of licensure... Do I need to provide it for retesting ( international nurse) please reply TIA
hello thank you for the information what about specialty certification and continuing education. do you need to have it or just note that not applicable.
Hi, i am a newly graduate from the Philippines and now living in TX. Is it fine to take NCLEX here even without license from the PH? Or should i take it first in NY and have the endorsement afterwards.
Hi there, first of, ty for this video. I passed my nclex for New York, I never took the pnle and I’m trying to see if I can endorse my license to Illinois. I’m a bit confused, someone told me I can’t endorse it to Illinois if I’m not a board passer in Philippines, do u know by chance if this is true?
Hi question for the requirements from your school, is it transcript only together with the form from CGFNS or do I need to include a copy of diploma? Same situation here because of pandemic I can’t take the PNLE so as grad. Ceremony
They only ask for the university/college transcript and CGFNS form. :) And you will have the option to upload your high school diploma on the CGFNS website, but in my experience they won’t ask for your university/college diploma at all.
Hi dear , Thanku so much for this informative video . I have some doubts will appreciate if you help. I have done with my CGFNS process .. they sent my CES professional report to my board of nursing Massachusetts . I registered with Pearson vue and NCSBN ( filled the application and paid $200 ) on other hand I also contact the board of nursing and filled the application for applying license by exam and paid $230 for that application. M so confuse m following the right direction?? Because I think I shouldn’t filled the application for applying license at this time .Bcz I do not give my nclex test yet???

if you went to multiple primary and secondary schools.. do you need to include all that in your cgfns history?
I went to three different primaries and two secondary.
Do I just use the most recent primary and secondary or use all
Hi! Did you give them any documents/proof saying that your university taught you in English? My university taught us in English too but I don't know if I can take my NCLEX without TOEFL or IELTS. Thank you :)
Hi! Same case with me. Any update with your english exam? Did you take it? :)
Thank you for this. Much needed info
No problem! 😊
Hi Ion, thanks for your very informative video. I know this is an old video. I am in the process of applying cgfns. I am a Fil-am citizen but graduated in the Philippines. I don't have a nursing license too. My question to you about the cgfns, on the left side portion of profile do we need to fill up starting from personal info down to personal profile summary? How about the english language profeciency test, specialty cert info etc?
Thank you in advance.
Very informative. Thank you so much.❤️
Thank you for the details ☺️
Very informative video! Thank you so much 💯
thank you so much for watching!! glad I could help enlighten you! ☺️
Thanks for the video. Im planning to take my nclex again in saipan because im done with their cgfns background check. My question is, what happen if i pass the nclex in Saipan. Can i use that license tp work here in the US and if yes. What states? Im residing Iowa right now and while im digging about nclex i read some articles regarding NLC membership state. Please kindly walk me through it
Can you tell me when can pay 250 $ to speed up my application I have been waiting for six months .Thank you for your very comprehensive vedio I wished I find you before that I have to end up 800$ to CGFNS beacuse of my mistake .
You’ll be eligible for expedited review ($250) once your documents are being evaluated. :) However, 6 months is a long time so you may be lacking documents. I recommend calling CGFNS to resolve this. 😊
Hi Ione, there is a "Request for License/Registration/Diploma" form and not sure if it's just the state where I will be registering or you forgot to mention about it? Please let me know. Thank you for this content. It's very helpful!
Hi, that’s the License Validation form which I discuss at 9:02 :) I had this form waived because I’m not a license holder in my country of education. If you do hold a license in your country, this is the form you bring to your country’s licensing authority & they will fill it out & send it to CGFNS. 😊
Omgg.. I found your channel . Thank you so much for doing this., 🥰 I'm from Maine, and I graduated Bsn year 2009... gosh that was long time ago but deep in my heart I really want to pursue the usrn. But I once failed our PNLE way back long time ago 😂. so i have question. do you think it would affect my application process?
locked your 1k like. great help thanks a lot was looking for this exact tutorial.
thank you so much for watching, I’m glad I could help! ☺️
hi friend,. I need your piece of advice here. Glad that I found your video, kinda relate to your situation before. I am a RN in the Philippines. I live in Utah but can I process CGFNS CES and take NCLEX Texas ? Utah needs CP and so much requirements its so frustrating. Can I take Texas instead? Hoping for your response Nicole., ☺🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much. God bless you!
Thank you for watching! ☺️
Hi Ione, watched this vid couple of times, just want to clarify, my CGFNS status is ready for final review, I have made an account on Texas BON website but I haven't applied for a license or paid for an application thru Texas BON yet, will it be okay? I am bit worried that there might be some conflict once CGFNS has sent the report to Texas BON and I haven't applied for the license.
Hi! Yeah that will be okay. When your report is sent over, the BON just kind of holds onto it and once you make an account there and input your name etc, the BON is able to match it up with your sent over CGFNS report :)
Hello po. May schedule fee ka pa po ba na binayaran after niyo nareceive ang ATT? How muce po?
The only fees you pay for the NCLEX will be before receiving the ATT. It’s $200 to register with Pearson Vue. 😊
Excellent explanation!
Hi maam, do you have any idea on the span of time it would take to get my att after all the requirements are sent? Because im still waiting for my fingerprint card to arrive in TN? Thank you so much
It varies by state to be honest! For texas, once all my requirements were approved, it took about 2 weeks to get my ATT but I think other states work faster. ☺️
@@IoneNicole thank you maam, may I know when did you completed your requirements?
@@alymari9755 Texas logged all my requirements as complete at the end of November and I received my ATT on december 1st :)
Quick question is there a program you recommend for somebody that finished nursing school a few years back but has not taken the Nclex? I’ve been working as an Lvn and never set up a test date for nclex. But I feel like I will fail if I take it. Is there a program that gives you like a refresher course?
I think you can take NCLEX review classes if that’s what you mean! I know some people take Mark Klimek lecture classes, Rachel Allen classes, etc. I know a friend who attended an in-person Rachel Allen review session and went on to pass the exam. 😊
Detailed info♥️. Thanks
Your video eased my anxiety in preparing to apply for the NCLEX, I’m a dual citizen too. I just have a question regarding on how you completed your cgfns profile, because I was making one right now and there was a section about Language Proficiency Test, and there was no option for non-applicable. I did not take any language test so I really don’t know how to go about this part 😅 Do I just skip that section and do the submit and transmit to cgfns? Or do I call the contact number they have, before I submit all the info?

Thank you so much for this video! I just want to ask if you took your English exam even though you didn’t take your board exam in the Philippines.

Good luck! 😊
Hello :) Thank you so much for this video Nicole. You're always been brilliant ever since I've known you. Lifts me up! I just have a question, I hope you don't mind. One of my friend advised me to just process personally the application to take NCLEX exam; however I already had my connection with Health Carousel. I just don't know which step is best for me to proceed. I would like to ask for you advise on this one. Should I just continue with my current process with Health Carousel? or Should I restart and do the process myself. My friend told me that a disadvantage of having health carousel process my application is that they will deduct a significant amount from my salary, soon when I will be working abroad already. Looking forward on your advise. Thanks!

You need an agency to help you come to the US, they will deduct your salary for 2-3 years. Check out the video on my Nursing channel
Hi dear! Thank you so much for the detailed video! I have a question, I'm in Europe and I am applying for Texas as well. Is it possible to mail a fingerprint card for the Criminal Background check? Because it only allows me to book an in-person appointment? Thank you😊
Hello Ione! I'm new to your channel and I just want to say thank you for sharing your process. I'm also a dual citizen and will be graduating soon and applying for CA. I just have one question during your journey, did you have to deal with the PRC forms? (Cases of patients during clinical hours/ duties) just curious if that's also applicable when applying for the NCLEX?
Hi! Your clinical hours & whatnot will be filled out by your school when you give them the needed CGFNS forms to submit but that’s pretty much all in my experience. :)
@@IoneNicole is there Nursing program in Philippines that teaches everything in English?
This is so helpful. Thank you dear.
Thank you for watching!
I followed every single steps u did… I passed NCLEX this week from London and got my license from Texas board of nursing. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Thank you so much for this

Hi Ione my school sent my TOR to CGFNS then when i called the CGFNS they said they recieved and sent already to New York State of education but the NYstate said to me that i need to send my another TOR directly to their address here in newyork coz they said CGFNS sent them the same record i dont understand now hayss😔
did you had to translate your transcripts and paperwork in order to sed it to cgfns
Hi. Thank you so much for this video. Just wanna ask if work experience is one of the requirements for this state before they grant you eligibility to take exam?? Thanks.
Have you been struggling with NCLEX be it LPN or RN, have you taken the exam for more than once? Are you taking it for the first time? Do you have a too busy schedule to study? Get to Dr Needham for your NCLEX assistance. I’m so happy I finally passed my exams thanks to him. He’s got a magical qbank which will help you become a RN
Thanks for such an informative video.
Is it that you had printed the forms and signed them then have them sent to your friend to submit for you?
Yes exactly! I printed, signed them, and then I mailed them to my friend who submitted the forms for me. 😊
Thank you, so much💗
Thank you so much for a detailed video, so helpful. I have one question, I am an RN for over 7 years, I first started practicing 7 years ago after my Diploma in Nursing (which is the minimum for practicing in my country), a few years ago I decided to further my education and received my BSC in Nursing through an expedited programme that lasted for 3 years in a Ghana, which is another country as I'm Nigerian and had my Diploma and practice in Nigeria. Now I'm filling out the CGFNS forms and it's asking for my minimum educational qualification (one which allows me practice as a nurse in my country), my question is should I put in there my Diploma or should I put in my BSC, knowing that I just concluded my BSC last year 2021.
Second question, in submitting my transcript, who will be submitting it, my school of Nursing (diploma) or my BSC .
Thanks
I have a doubt regarding Att and booking exam date.
My doubt is whether we need to write the exam before expire CGFNS report issue date (one year validity) or will consider state board application submit date validity
My Cgfns report issue January 2021 and state board applications submitted July 2021.
Kindly please clarify my doubt when should I complete my exam (before January 2022 or July 2022).
Hello!! Thanks for this video. It was really helpful! I have a question, though!! My CES report says I have less hours than required by the Florida BON. Do I still make an application with them, or do it wait for them to contact me regarding how to complete this hours first? Thank you!
Hmm I’ve never dealt with this situation but I would contact the Florida BON and ask them what they do in cases like this before I submit an application with them! ☺️
Hello , I'm international nursing student, after we apply for NCLEX exam ,can we do it ,in our own country via online. Other all the process we can do via online but exam how about it, because in this time I'm unable to move USA, please can you tell me what should I do for this problem
Thanks so much for the video. Quick question though, on the CGFNS website, it says that you need to meet SOME of the following criteria
A. You graduated from an accredited nursing education program in your country of education
B. You are licensed as a Registered Nurse in another country
C. You’ve practiced as a Registered Nurse for at least two years before.
It's the phrasing of "some" of the criteria that I'm confused with, specifically for criteria C Do I definitely have to work for 2 years in my home country (which would take me to the end of 2022) before I can even consider applying to work in the US? I meet all the other criteria, and as I was educated at an Australian university, I don't need to complete any sort of language testing
Hi! So my video is really just geared towards being able to simply take the NCLEX, rather than the specific processes to come over to the US after passing which require a visa, etc because I’m not too knowledgeable on those steps. To answer your question, that is something I’ve wondered myself because I know some people who only had a year of work experience and then they were able to find a nursing staffing agency who would take them. I think the amount of work experience may depend on the agency, and I’ve also heard that sometimes work experience in your home country isn’t even required as long as you’re a new grad. Basically I’ve heard mixed things regarding the work experience part and I’m still trying to find out what’s true. 😊
@@IoneNicole Thank you very much for the reply. One more question. So I'm from Australia and I've read on forums that our degrees are particularly deficient in OBGYN and paediatrics compared to the US. I'm guessing that when you get the CGFNS report back, they wouldn't be able to point you in the right direction as to how make up the deficit in your experience, they just point out that the deficit exists. But have you seen any criteria in terms of minimal theory and practical hours, as well as the "level" of qualification (e.g. graduate certificate vs. graduate diploma vs. masters) required for each of the separate disciplines? Or do you know of any agencies that help guide prospective applicants re: this process? Would hate to go spend money and time on a course only to find out after the fact once my credentials are re-evaluated by CGFNS that it doesn't meet the necessary requirements.
@@IoneNicole I guess another way of asking my question would be, were you 2 years post-grad at least? I guess what I'm wondering is are applicants not even eligible for a CGFNS evaluation of your credentials if you aren't at least 2 years post-grad based on the above statement I put in the first comment? My partner and I were particularly interested in going to Texas or Florida by 2023 and we are both in our first year post-graduate.
@@maddisonclayton1172 I was not 2 years post-grad :) I graduated in August 2020 and applied with CGFNS right away. I actually haven’t heard of anyone being found deficient by CGFNS standards! All my Filipino friends had no issues having their credentials evaluated. In the US, I think it’s just California that is strict regarding OB, etc and in that case, they’ll tell you to go back to school and for what courses.
Hi ! You did a great job with your vblog. Very informative. Thank you for sharing it .I have something question ... how to up load the ID photo ... when you’re filling up the CGFNS application. Do you think we can do it via Celpon ?( iPhone 10 or any iPhone or do we need a computer for that.Thank you so much.I really appreciate it.
Hi! You should use a computer or laptop to be safe when filling out your CGFNS application. :) You can access the website on your phone but it is a little hard to navigate so I really recommend a laptop/computer.
Thanks for the information po.. I just want to ask Yung form 2 at form ... What Bond paper to be used in printing?.. short or long bond paper?... Thank you
Hello I’m Sofi, from Nepal, question, I did my CES evaluation process through CGFNS and my report was issued to MA a year ago, now I had to move to Newyork for some reason and I see there is a different requirement like CVS, will I be able to transfer my evaluated certificate to Newyork or do I have to start process all over again? I need help any help will be great. Thank you
Compliments of the season Nicole please I want to know the steps I would take to get a job/employer, accommodationy etc before migrating to USA
Did you have to take an English Proficiency Test such as TOEFL as well? Great video! It helped me alot!
I did not because Texas is one of the states that doesn’t require it for the NCLEX :) However if you’ll be needing to apply for a US visa in the future, then the english proficiency test is a requirement for that. 😊

I have my green card and must move to Texas within the next 2 mths. I am not a registered nurse as I have just completed my BSN program at a foreign university within the English speaking Caribbean. Could I still write the NCLEX ?
Hi nicole... I'm in the processing with my ces application .. however they required me to take an English proficiency exam. I'm from cebu as well and the university I graduated taught in English... how did cgfna exempt you from taking the English prof. Test? Did you provided any prof from the university?
Hi! It depends on the state because some states require an english test no matter what, but other states such as Texas don’t require an english test to take the NCLEX :) If your university taught in english, your school will indicate that on your CGFNS form when they fill it out!
@@IoneNicole ok thank you s
Excelent Video!

hello, maam. just want to ask about the general information. i’m confused about the higher secondary and the lower secondary for highschool?
Thank you so much for this video
For this, I’m not sure! My RLE hours were evaluated by CGFNS and not the BON. CGFNS deems whether or not my RLE hours are sufficient or similar to what US nursing students experience and if it is, that is the information they pass along to the BON. :)
Hi Ione, I want to start my CGFNS process but I’m in the US. Can you explain to me how exactly your friend back home helped with the forms? Did you print and sign the forms and then mail it to her?

hello thank you for the information
what about specialty certification and continuing education. do you need to have it or just note that not applicable.
Hi, i am a newly graduate from the Philippines and now living in TX. Is it fine to take NCLEX here even without license from the PH? Or should i take it first in NY and have the endorsement afterwards.
Hi there, first of, ty for this video. I passed my nclex for New York, I never took the pnle and I’m trying to see if I can endorse my license to Illinois. I’m a bit confused, someone told me I can’t endorse it to Illinois if I’m not a board passer in Philippines, do u know by chance if this is true?
Hi question for the requirements from your school, is it transcript only together with the form from CGFNS or do I need to include a copy of diploma? Same situation here because of pandemic I can’t take the PNLE so as grad. Ceremony
They only ask for the university/college transcript and CGFNS form. :) And you will have the option to upload your high school diploma on the CGFNS website, but in my experience they won’t ask for your university/college diploma at all.
Hi dear , Thanku so much for this informative video . I have some doubts will appreciate if you help. I have done with my CGFNS process .. they sent my CES professional report to my board of nursing Massachusetts . I registered with Pearson vue and NCSBN ( filled the application and paid $200 ) on other hand I also contact the board of nursing and filled the application for applying license by exam and paid $230 for that application. M so confuse m following the right direction?? Because I think I shouldn’t filled the application for applying license at this time .Bcz I do not give my nclex test yet??? Please help me and clear my doubts …
Excuseme, are you able to work in Nebraska even when you got licenced in Texas? If so, was it necessary to follow any other process?
