Hi everybody!!! How's everybody?!!!! Hope someone out there can enlighten me with this queries...

1. What is the difference between CGFNS and NCLEX (when it comes to content of the exam) besides how you are going to take the test (Pen and paper vs computer)?

2. Do you advise that i just take the CGFNS review in preparation for both tests? am thinking of saving time and money since we know that review fees soar high above our pockets.

3. Can you apply for both exams at the same time or have to wait for the CGFNS certificate before you can apply for NCLEX (MS requires both)?

4.anyone out there who is planning or is already in Mississippi?PM me please... i need your advice...thank you soo very much!

5. anyone who knows the website of KAPLAN in Baguio city? was wondering how much the review fees there for nclex and cg, which do you think is better labagnoy or kaplan?

thank you soomuch again!!!

One exam has absolutely nothing to do with the other. They are not simialr in any way. NCLEX is a CAT exam, computer based, and each exam is different.

CGFNS is pencil and paper and the same exam the same day in the world.

Please take the time to read the Primer on the International Forum. Unless you are actually going to work in one of a handful of states in the US, there is no reason what so ever to write the CGFNS exam, unless you like to throw away money. CGFNS exam will not give you a license to practice inthe US, you must still write the NCLEX.

There is nothing to say, you must take and pass the NCLEX-RN exam to work in the US. CGFNS is not required for most states.

I suggest that you take the time and read the Primer on the International Forum, that is what it was designed for.
