What is the CGFNS Certificate?
The Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) issue certificates to foreign nurses who have passed a nursing qualifying exam and fulfilled the English language requirements. The CGFNS certificate is required for US immigration, by most US state nursing boards, as well as by many US hospitals. We strongly recommend all candidates who want to practice nursing in the US to take the exam, which happens 3 times per year. For more information visit the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools website.
