This is what I did in Illinois. PCL Nursing Credit Evaluation from CGFNS. Each state has different proceudre (slightly more or less). Once your education is evaluated a report will be generated and forwarded to IDFPR (Illinois department of financial and professional regulation) its responsible for issuance of nursing licensce. Once you find out that you report is generated by CGFNS than you need fill another form from continentaltesting.net for professional nurse(RN) it works with IDFPR. Make sure you have your fingerprint scanned (for any criminal background checks) from an authorised agency. After filling the form at continentaltesting.net you are required to submit your fingerprint scan receipt by mail to continental testing. In the mean time you are required to register for NCLEX examination through NCLEX website. Once you register for examination all you need to do is wait for approval for your examination. Once you recive approval letter you are required to schedule an examination date online. You just need to select the date this time. Prepare hard for it then.
