CGFNS exam is not a mandatory exam for licensure in the US. The only two exams are NCLEX-RN and the series of English exams, if you are not exempt from them.
The CGFNS exam is waived for Michigan if you are a Canadian nurse, or have worked for at least five years in the US as an RN. It is currently the only state where you cannot get licensed in another state, then endorse to there.
Illinois recently abandoned its requirement for the CGFNS exam, and now only requires the CES.
Most states are now just requiring the Credentials Evaluation Service (CES) done by CGFNS. This is different than the exam.
Immigration only requires that one exam be done, CGFNS or NCLEX. You will ultimately be required to sit for the NCLEX exam, so if you can afford to take that one, then that is the way to go.
Hope that this clears up any rumors that are flying around the world at the moment.
Thank God I passed.
My question is how do I go about asking CGFNS to send a copy of my CG Certificate to a State BON???
I can't understand the information on the CGFNS website...or maybe I'm too sleepy! (It's 3 AM here!)
How much is it, and how long will it take to ask CGFNS to send the Certificate?
(The Certificate is the only thing I need to get my ATT.)
BTW, congratulations to the other passers!

sorry, but nothing will be done for another few weeks. you need to wait until you actually receive the letter in the mail with your numerical score.
congrats on passing

You have to look up your account on the CGFNS website. Under that it will say what your status is, it will say passed or not passed where you go to the area that lists the different applications that you have submitted to them.
Go to Applicants --> Services --> Login...then click on the 3rd line, Check Order Status...Certification Program should be listed, click on the circle to its left then click Go below the list.how du you check for your cgfns exam result? 'coz I also took it last nov of the same year, I tried checking it in cgfns website but cant find it there.
You should get an itemized list with Status...CP should be Passed.
I have 3 friends who also took the same November 9 exam, but their online Status Pages have "Incomplete" listed. I advised them to call up CGFNS directly, the number is on the Contact Page.
Good luck!
oh no.sorry, but nothing will be done for another few weeks. you need to wait until you actually receive the letter in the mail with your numerical score.
with the legendary efficiency of that organization...imagine i never received the 2 id cards & 1 roster letter... this sucks.
what if i also do not get the letter with my score?
anyway, so i just send a photocopy of that letter to the bon?
thanks for the help!congrats on passing
