CGFNS Credentials Evaluation Service (CES) Professional Report specifically for internationally educated nurses seeking US licensure. This comprehensive evaluation includes: validation of nursing credentials earned outside the US, verification of current nursing licenses/registrations, authentication of diplomas and transcripts, and a statement of comparability of your nursing education against US standards. Required by most State Boards of Nursing as a prerequisite to take the NCLEX-RN examination. Also accepted for US immigration purposes (visa applications) and employer verification. Processing typically takes 4-6 weeks after all documents are received.
