Hi,

I am posting this on behalf of a nurse who wants to know if any state
in the US waives the CGFNS requirement. Please let me know if you have
any information to share.

Thanks very much.

Hi! I\'m an RN from Ottawa that has worked in the US for 4 years. I did a search for you and found out the 85% of the states require the CGFNS (an exam set up to predict success on the NCLEX aka nursing boards - sounds like a money grabber to me). My advice is to find a state that doesn\'t require the CGFNS (north carolina is one....check out http://www.ncsbn.org/files/boards/boardscontact.asp to find a list of all the boards of nursings\' websites) Write the NCLEX for a state that doesn\'t require CGFNS. After that, you may endorse into another state. (Once you\'ve written and passed the NCLEX, you don\'t need to write the CGFNS). Hopes this helps, just email me at eugene_hernandez@hotmail.com if you need any other info!
