NCLEX RN Application in NY State

I made this post so that I may be of some help to those who might want to apply for RN licensure in NY State.

First, you need to visit CGFNS.org webiste. Or you might want to check this link http://www.cgfns.org/sections/programs/cvs/ All the information you need is there including the fees and requirements. It is not necessary to have a SSN to apply. Create an account, select CVS service and be ready to pay for around $390 for online application. (Paper application costs much than online.) Hold on to your CVS application requirements.

Second, visit nybon website  http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/nurse/ On the left side, click on the link that says Application Forms for RN. Print out and fill Form 1 and Form 3 (Form 3 if you held any license in any jurisdiction) *If you were educated outside the U.S., submit a copy of your nursing diploma in the original language.

Don’t worry much about the Infection and Child Abuse. You can do this online. I finished both with one sitting infront of the pc. What happens is that you have to read info regarding the said topics and after each topic you will be given a short quiz just to make sure you understood what you read. It was easy. But of course these trainigs are not for free. Here’s the link of official providers http://www.op.nysed.gov/training/caproviders.htm Just look for one that offers online training. It is legit because they were directly from NYBON website. After the course you will be aske dif you want to print your certificate. Click PRINT.

Third, so now that you have everything printed out and filled, notarize the pages needed. Now send (thru mail) your requirements to their respective address. Oh and don’t forget to include your $143 check in the envelope for NYBON.

Now sit back and prepare to have a long wait. I sent my application July 2010, received my ATT March 2011.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
