Why are you taking the CGFNS exam? Especially after the NCLEX? Makes no sense at all and is not needed in the US.
With all of the issues floating around there right now with review centers, I highly recommend thst you do the preparation on your own. It is quite easy to do and the safer bet.
Bet the real question that I have for you, is why are you taking the CGFNS exam? And after the NCLEX?

I have friend that did this as well and this was when I was telling her that the State we are applying to doesn't need anything from CGFNS.
Stranger thing is to take CGFNS exam after NCLEX, that is what is more confusing.
Yes. What's more strange is that this same person will be endorsing to another state the requires the CES.To Fl to be exact. I think some States may accept the CGFNS certification since it has a transcript review already but not sure about in Fl.

hi! i've heard that there is an N. G Review and Training Center located in Cagayan De Oro. Y don't u check it out....
what..? theres a Gapus Review Center in CDO, St. Louis and i think AM Care.. aside from those three, i havent heard of any other nursing review centers there..
i was supposed to take the CGFNS exam this coming November but i was unable to meet thedeadline.. so instead i opted to take the CGFNS March next year.. I have already file for a leave from the hospital im working from November to March.. SO instead for waiting until march in order for me to take the CGFNS.. i made myself useful and i didn't want to waste my time so i am going to take the NLEX earlier.. ok?

I think the point they are driving at is this. Why take the CGFNS exam? It's not needed anymore. What you need to become a USRN is NCLEX. You don't need a CGFNS exam for that. So no use taking CGFNS exam.
The point that we are all trying to make is that taking the CGFNS exam in March will be of no use to you at all. It is needed for a few states to even be able to sit for the NCLEX exam, that is all that it is. Nothing more.
You would be much better off and further ahead to have them apply at least part of that money to your Visa Screen Certificate, instead of just wasting it on something that will nto matter at all...........
And I really suggest that you do some more research before you even attempt to sign up with a review center. Gapuz is the one that is being investigated for the major issues with the NLE exam in the first place.
He also does not even have a license to practice in the US, none have been found in the three states where he states he has licenses.
so if in case i pass my NCLEX this coming January, applications for US would still be very possible despite not taking the CGFNS? Im sorry, i dont really dont have much idea about all this.. I have been told by my agency that it is better that pass both exams since it would be an edge for my applications. although they still don't know i'm taking the NCLEX this coming january ahead of time..
