Re: Hello Everybody!! need an advice!

Depends on where you are going to work, there are a few states that still require the CGFNS exam, and willnot even permit you to endorse without it.

Have you already applied for a license to a state? If not, you may not be taking the exam in October. You need to apply for a license and then the taking of the NCLEX-RN is the last step of the process.

I highly recommend that you read each of the stickies that are posted at the top of the International Forum.
