Nclex and cgfns confusion for USA

[jojo14627]

Hi everyone,

would ssomeone please help me I'm so confused with this nclex and cgfns exam things. I have been told I have to take both tests. I am a British citizen and my boyfriend is American. We are planning on getting married in the future and moving back to the states with him. I am an RN and I'm looking for advice on everything about the exams and prep. I have started to buy books and flash cards for medications. I just want to find all this out so I can have a clear head to start studying. Thank you for your help in advance :)

Starting point would be checking out the state you plan on living and working in and seeing what is listed on the Board of Nursing website. Links can be found at the bottom of the page to the board of nursing websites. CGFNS exam is only required by a handful of states so no need to take it if it is not required. NCLEX however is a requirements. Be aware depending what is on your transcripts will depend on whether you have any deficiencies. US training is general trained and both clinical and theory will be required on your transcripts in Paeds, Mental Health, Obstetrics and Adult
