Welcome to the site

Unless have a EU passport you may find it hard to get a work permit to work in the EU. Also depending on where you want to work you will need to meet that country's nursing requirements and pass their language exam and be fluent in both written and oral. Again you will have to get your FNP assessed by the country to whether they accept it or not. EU have set ruling down unless have experience in an area of short demand and will vary from country to country employers have to employ from own country then EU before the rest of the world.

If you do a search for France/French there are a few threads and a couple of the recent ones explain what you need to do. As mentioned CGFNS and NCLEX have nothing to do with the EU. Your documents will need translating officially to French and I wouldn't be surprised for work that you become fluent in French.
