RN exam and CGFNS exam : what are the similarities and differences ?
Write the NCLEX (RN) directly : Do you know that you can beat the CGFNS testing cycle and appear for the NCLEX-RN directly. The NCLEX-RN, which is currently offered in the USA, will be offered outside the USA from 2004. Advantage of writing the NCLEX-RN directly : 1. The NCLEX-RN is offered on almost all working days in the year as compared to the CGFNS, which is offered only three or sometime, four times a year. 2. Once you pass the CGFNS. You need to write the NCLEX-RN again. Avoid doing 2 exams, write only one and become a registered nurse licensed to work in the USA. 3. The pass percentage of the NCLEX-RN is about 80%, while the pass percentage for CGFNS is about 50%. 4. When you enter the US as a CGFNS passed nurse, you will have to work as a nursing aide, Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) but you get to work as RN (Registered Nurse) immediately if you are NCLEX-RN passed. As a NCLEX-RN passed nurse, you earn a salary that is almost 80% more than what a CGFNS passed nurse will earn
