What are the differences between the CES report and the CGFNS International Certification Program?
The CES report summarizes an applicant’s credentials. It does not include a pass/fail eligibility review or an examination as in the Certification Program. The CES evaluates the educational/professional credentials of multiple types and levels of health care professionals, while the Certification Program accommodates ONLY first-level, general (registered) nurses. (The CES can be utilized by multiple, internationally educated health care professionals.) Another difference is that the CGFNS International Certification Program indicates one’s likelihood of passing the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN® examination).
