hi guys!
im a registered nurse in the philippines
im planning to practice in new jersey where my aunt
lives so i need to take cgfns. im confused what review
center wouls i choose.
in kaplan they have 180 hours laboratory + 26 hours
lecture 3hours 3x a week is that advisable for cgfns?
in labagnoy review center they have 1 month course
review 1 month critical review 1 month final coaching
perhaps just like in gapuz cos i went to gapuz on my local
boards, but i learned from some friends labagnoy is good in
cgfns while kaplan is good in nclex + gapuz is for local
boards... no doubt about that
also im looking for good resources for cgfns, right now im
so confused, no problem with the fee no problem with the
location... the only thing is which is better for cgfns?
labagnoy or kaplan? pls help! thanks!

so as not to be confused, you might want to consider attending labagnoy's class at daytime and having kaplan's online review at nighttime. why not?
......just kidding.....peace.....:kiss

My friend used Labagnoy and she passed the CGFNS for the first time. She will take her NCLEX this year but I don't know where she will go for a review. I used Kaplan + Saunders book for NCLEX and I passed for the first try. I did not take CGFNS because I don't need it!.
God Bless!!!!
thanks! although theyre schedule is very tight and some would advise me to depend on saunders insted of review centers i wouls still prefer to attenc lonf course of review, i dont think it would be effective for me to have a self review im quite lax lol : )

Saunders is not a good review for the CGFNS exam, they are two very different exams to prepare for. The actual book that CGFNS sends to you is the best for that exam.
Please do these tired eyes a favor and use dark ink, it makes it hard to read, especially late at night. I usually will skip over posts like this, and not respond to them, if I have to strain my eyes.
Remember that the final post looks different than when you are writing it.
sorry
New Jersey no longer requires the CGFNS exam.
