Hi Juan, If you are able to earn the CGFNS certificate, you will be able to get agencies and recruiters that can file employment papers for you. To earn the CGFNS certificate, It is either you write the CGFNS exam and a English test exam or you write the NCLEX exam as well as the English Test exam. IF you write the CGFNS exam, you will still need to write and pass the NCLEX exam for you to be able to practice in the US as a RN. It is only the BON that has the authority to review and present you for the NCLEX exam. The issue is that most of the state BONs will not present anybody without a social security number to sit for the NCLEX exam and that is why I would advise that you go through the CGFNS path. It is lengthy and time consuming.

I am also a student of USM. I wondering if one can take some classes online from sites like www.study.com and have the credits transferred to USM to complete the requirement for the RN to BSN program. What alternatives are available.
