Hello,

You plan to work in CA? Then you wouldnt need to take the CGFNS since it is not required in CA. Take the NCLEX instead. Visit www.rn.ca.gov for your application. Hope that helped.

I answered your other post on the Filipino Forum.
Do not go for initial licensure in CA. It will take you on average of four to months or so to get approval to sit for the exam, and another one month after taking it to get your results by snail mail. If you decide to go to another state at the last moment, you will have many headaches.

Please read the stickies at the top of the forum here.
