87 Comments
Here’s a quick step by step process on NCLEX Application at Vermont Board of Nursing for graduates of international nursing schools, including the Philippines.
1. Apply for CES Report either in CGFNS or IERF. I highly suggest you process it with CGFNS online, HP&S Report ($328) would suffice. See step by step instructions here. CGFNS will then forward your CES report directly to Vermont; they will also furnish you a copy.
2. Download the latest Vermont NCLEX Application forms and instructions (8 pages) for foreign nurses here.The first 3 pages are the instructions on how to fill up the form. PDF reader required to open file.
3. Fill up pages 4-8 (page numbered 1-5) to the best of your knowledge. Paste your 2×2 picture on the space provided in page 4. You will also include in this packet your photocopy of license (front and back in one page) certified by PRC, photocopy of your passport (face page), $150 Application fee in bank draft, money order, etc payable to ‘Vermont Secretary of State.’
Checklist for Vermont NCLEX Application:
- Included the $150 fee
- Included a 2×2 inch photo
- Included email address – Printed CLEARLY.
- Filled out educational information
- Filled out work history information
- Filled out license and passport information
- Answered question concerning whether or not you have taken the NCLEX, and how many times.
- If you have taken the NCLEX, you have included copies of your fail letters from the Board of Nursing you took the exam through
Included copy of passport - Included copy of initial nursing license. If you hold any additional active nursing licenses, include copies.
- Answered ALL legal questions
- Signed application
- Requested CES report from either IERF or CGFNS and indicated its status on the application.
For detailed instructions on how to fill up the NCLEX application form please refer to application instructions on the downloaded form. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to comment about it below. 
P.S.: Please disregard my other post about NCLEX Application in Vermont somewhere in this site.

Vermont has CES req, so it would take 3-4 mos before you receive your eligibility. But it depends on a lot of factors. If you have your eligibility, you can register for ATT. Then you send Candidate ID to vermont after ATT registration, tapos expect your ATT in 1-2 days.

sir i already have my cgfns certificate… and the info here states that i would still need to apply the CES.. would i still pay the corresponding payment of 328$ before they evaluate my paper? thanks for the help…

Yes, you must have vermont-specific CES report even if you have the CG certificate.
Check my post about CES application.
California, walang CES.
gud afternoon. I just wanted to ask if it’s true that Vermont is requiring their foreign nurses to take IELTS after passing the NCLEX? I heard this rumor sometime ago, and I just wanted to confirm it. Thanks in advance.

No need. Just follow and comply instructions and requirements of the state you wish to apply in.
[Reply]
sir nonoy, i just want to verify a few things:
1) that you must be a local board passer here in the philippines before you can apply to take the nclex in vermont?
2) if so, i need to apply for CES first then to Vermont BON? do i have to wait for the result of my CES BEFORE i can pass an application to vermont? or… i can proceed to my application once i have passed the CES requirements?
3) is there a reciprocity between vermont and new york?
thank you so much in advance. hope u can enlighten me

1. Yes
2. Yes. No, you can proceed if you want to, pero pwede rin hintayin mo na lang ang CES.
3. Yes, but new york requires CVS.
[Reply]
Sir Nonoy,
Good morning po! Kung mag-apply po ako ng NCLEX sa Vermont, is it possible na makapagapply ako for reciprocity sa ibang state kung sakali na gusto ko magpalipat, halimbawa po sa New Jersey? Advisable po ba na kumuha ako ng TOEFL para makapagwork sa states? Maraming salamat po sir.

sir noy, i have the same question with jemstar. until now i did not make any move regarding my application for Vermont because i don’t know where to start. I am also a CGFNS certificate holder last 2006. what kind of CES do i need to request? what will i do first? really, i don’t have any idea where to start. please help me. i need to settle this to have peace of mind. thanx a lot.

Sir noy, according to your post i need to submit a photocopy of PRC lic. that is certified by PRC. eto n po b yung form n “REQUEST FOR VALIDATION OF LICENSE” if not sir pano po ipa certify? thanks!

Yung request for validation of license, para sa CES. Aside from that you will have to attach with your application photocopy of your license.

Sir one more thing, according to pearson vue, yung att is valid from 60 days up to 1year depende sa state kung san ka nag aapply. sir do you have an idea about sa vermont? thanks ulit.

90 days ang validity ng ATT sa Vermont.
[Reply]
hi kuya noy,
i have few q’s
1st: ung 90 days po na validity ng ATT sa vermont does it mean that, you have to take the exam within 90 days or within 90 DAYS I need to schedule it? example. i have my att jan, 1, so, kailang po ba before april 1, naka exam na ako? OR, before april 1 (90 days) naka pa schedule na ako ng exam? pls enlighten me kuya noy.
2nd: i was a transferee, do i need to send also my TOR ng 1st school ko? o di na kailangan since, sa 2nd school ko where i graduated, ung TOR ko don, andon na din ung summary ng TOR ko from my 1st school. do i need to attach my tor from my 1st school?
LAST PO: pag nag online application po ako sa CES, i dont need to send my application form with ces right? ano po dapat kung gawin? ipiprint ko na lang ba?
THANK YOU KUYA NOY. YOU ARE A BIG HELP TO US.
PLS HELP ME.

1. You have to schedule AND take the exam within 90 days of ATT validity.
2. Based on CES instructions you have to send transcripts from all your schools of nursing. Kasi there’s a part in online CES application that you have to enter your professional schools.
3. No need to send na basta online.
[Reply]
kuya noy,
bigyan mo naman ako ng tip,
san nakukuha ung ATT? PDE po ba na after ko ma process ung CES ko eh wag muna ako mag pa schedule para di mag start ung 90 days ko? kelan po ba mag is start ang 90 days?
thats my biggest concern pls help.
GOD BLESS YOU AND MORE POWER?

Nag-aaply kasi ako para sa Vermont for endorsement from California pero nakita ko sa form na kailangan ng CES Report. Kailangan pa ba nung CES Report kahit passed na ako ng NCLEX at meron nang VisaScreen Certificate from CGFNS/ICHP? Di ako nag take ng CGFNS EXAM, derecho NCLEX na ako kasi, then nag pa VisaScreen Certificate. Now, kailangan ko pa ba ng CES Report? HOW WILL I ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW, WHICH ARE PART OF A PAGE IN ONE OF THE VERMONT ENDORSEMENT APPLICATION FORMS?
“I hereby certify that I understand that my application will not be complete without completing a Credentials Evaluation (CES) Report. I understand that my application must be completed within one year. Check off the statement below that applies to you:
I will be obtaining a CES Report from: __ CGFNS ___IERF
I have already sent a CES Report from __ CGFNS ___IERF
__I have included a CGFNS Certificate with my application
__I have completed a CES Report for another State and have requested that a copy be sent from CGFNS. I understand that I also need to submit a license verification form from my licensing aithority if I choose this option. I also understand that CES from another State may not be sufficient to evaluate my Vermont file, and that I may be required to obtain a VT-specific CES Report.

this would answer your 1st question… from the vermont board of registered nursing website.
International Nurses:
As of October 1, 2009 all new International Applicants who hold a CGFNS Certificate or a Visa Screen Certificate must also obtain a Vermont specific CES report.
for your 2nd question…
if you’re still applying for CES… put a mark on cgfns if you’ll be applying with cgfns or the IERF if otherwise. leave the other fields blank except if your sending a CGFNS cert… then you sould also mark that field.

Good Day Sir!
I applied in the state of Illinois and I took the nclex exam last Sept.11, 2009 and according to the quick results, i passed.. my problem is that as of now, I haven’t received the copy of my official result. A friend of mine who applied in California had received her official result 2 weeks after her exam.. I’m already bothered cause my parents are already asking me about the result.. I would really appreciate your advice/opinion.. Thanks for your time..God Bless!!!

Tinignan ko po site ng New Mexico, as of January 1, 2009, di na daw po sila nagiissue ng hard copy license. http://www.bon.state.nm.us/
Kasi po hindi mo po makukuha yung license unless wala ka pong snn diba? E di ka naman po makakakuha ng work pag wala ka pong license. Tama po ba?

CGFNS has four major services, namely, Certification Program (with Qualifying exam), Credential Evaluation Service (CES), Credential Verification Service (CVS, for New York) and VisaScreen. Yung sinasabing CGFNS exam e yung CP… Sa CES wala ng exam.

sir noy,
i wish to apply to vermont, which of the ff: should i do first?
1.) apply for CES or fill out my application form & mail it to vermont right away? & what do you mean by indicating my status on the requested CES report? does this mean I have to apply fro CES first before I mail my application letter form to the state?
2.) should i register w/ PEARSONVUE for testing together w/ sending my application to the state right away or should i wait for their response if i am eligible, so as to avoid any mistakes or non refund of already made payments..
3.) and in regard to Jop’s post here, he filed for his application last march 09 and until now there is no response yet, i want to make sure lang kasi ganyan na ba katagal ngayon just to wait for a response akala ko kc vermont is one of the states na madali lang ang waiting time..or is this a case to case basis or probably the state is delaying because of the retrogression.
enlighten me please. thank you so much

hi sir noy,
im planning to apply for nclex exam thru the State of Vermont. i already had taken cgfns exam way back 2006. but unfortunately i didnt make it. my question is, in applying for an nclex exam,
1)should i still be sending them another copy of my credentials (eg: TOR, HS/College diploma, etc.)or should i apply for CES right away?
2) will i be able to take the NCLEX exam even without the IELTS?
im a little bit confused. thank you in advance.

Hi,
I’m planning to endorse my Nclex to Vermont since my pass letter will expire this nov.2010 and I read all your posts regarding with this matter. I was just wondering why do you prefer cgfns instead of Ierf for ces report? and I was confused if I will directly send my rle grades and transcript and the licensed verification form to state of Vermont? or to the agency who will evaluate my credentials? Another thing is, if ever I’ll choose cgfns to be my agency for my ces report, which type of of the cgfns report will I submit to *Healthcare Profession & Science Report? or *Full Education Course-by-Course Report?
Hope you can help me with this. Thank you so much.

Hi, thank you for the quick response. By the way, I have already asked for an extension but they told me its too early to ask for an extension. I shall write them back 3 months before the expiration, However, there’s no assurance that they will grant me for another year extension. So I’ve decided to better have an endorsement than to take the exam again. Anyway,is it ok if I endorse my NCLEX to New Mexico? My friend suggested me to endorse to this state than in Vermont because it’s way too cheap than Vermont.Thank you and God Bless… =)

Thank you for your reply. By the way, just for the others to know New Mexico had made some changes regarding their rule for those international graduates who plan to take examination to their state ( that was effective last year pa ata?! )- you must comply ces report and had already took english competency.These rules also apply for those who will be endorsing their NCLEX-RN examination to the state of New Mexico as well.Since,I don’t have IELTS yet, Vermont would be the perfect spot for me! hehe… Thanks sir noy and Godbless.
