Need Help On Cgfns Examination

:eek: :confused:

Hi Everybody I think I need some help with the CGFNS Ex. I've just failed on July 2003. Iwas really sure that I did well, but I failed. the major problem is that as I'm not living in US i had to travel specially for the examination. And as the comunication with the CGFNS was no as fluent as I would expect, I was told that I was rostered only a few days before the examination date. So I traveled under great stress, I mean, Ihad never been to NY and I traveled by myself. The trip was really great; the only problem was that I failed. I really studied quite little, I have to say. i used The CGFNS study guide and KAPLAN.

Can anobody recomend other sources of study? Can any body has any experience on CGFNS EX. Thank you. FABY

You go to http://www.cgfns.org and then log into your account. It will post pass or no pass there, the score will not be posted, it will only be sent to you in the mail.

download application form from www.rn.ca.gov. you dont need ss number portion to be filled up yet. good luck

I need information form Shadi. Please help me too. I have asked for application form and I got it already. But I have a problem that is I don't have social security number. What should I do? I can't get my social number now...I have to wait. So if anyone know how to apply in which state that easy to apply ...Please tell me ..I really need help.

I will repeat myself for the 100th time, if you are a foreign nurse, do not go for initial licensure in California. California will only issue you a license after you have a SSN#, not before. Which means that if you try to endorse to another state you will be unable to as you will not actually have a CA license. They only send you a letter that you meet all of the requirements, but do not actually issue you a number without the SSN#. You have up to three years to get the number submitted to them, but with the new changes for some of the countries, that may not be enought time.

One that I highly recommend is New York. CGFNS actually takes care of obtaining all of the required info because of the specail credentials verification that NY requires, you do have to pay a few extra dollars for it, but they will actually issue you a hard licnese as soon as you pass the NCLEX exam.

thank you for that information suzanne. but i already took my nclex last 30 november for california and waiting for my result any day from now. what should i do now? please give me further info.

There is nothing else for you to do at this point, but for anyone just beginning the process, stay away from California for initial licensure.

You will not be able to endorse to any other state until you actually have received your hard license and/or have been assigned an actual number by them.

does that mean that i cant provide nclex result for my visa screen application? can i get your email address? thanks.

Yes, you can provide results of NCLEX for your Visa Screen Certificate, as California will submit a document for you for a fee, but they will not sign off on any endorsement since you don't actually have a license issued there.

first, why are you wishing to take the cgfns exam, unless you are going to work in one of about four states in the us, there is absolutely no reason to take it.

cgfns exam will not give you a license to practice, you are still going to need to take the nclex-rn at some point to work here. please read the stickies at the top of this forum, everything is explained there in detail.

and welcome to allnurses.com.........:balloons:

CGFNS is required by 45 of 50 states for initial licensure. So, if you want to work in one of those states, you need the CGFNS exam. Requirements for processing of the green card is either passing scores on CGFNS or NCLEX and the complement of English exams if you are not exempt from them.

NCLEX is only available in the US and not all nurses qualify for a tourist visa to take it. In many countries, the nurse wages aren't high enough for the nurse to qualify for a tourist/visitor visa, so by being able to use CGFNS exam in their own country, they can get the work done for the green card.

Where are you interested in working? What area of the country? What specialty? Have you completed your series of English exams?

i have a number of questions...can i ask which states require local board exam or local license?? and which states require cgfns exam...can i fly to u.s without the local license..will the u.s immigration allow me? what valid explanation can i tell them if i did not take the local board exam on purpose? wheew thats all...by the way im from the philippines..thanks in advance for your reply..
