Program description Nurses wishing to participate and residing in the countries where the program is being given must have graduated from a government-approved nursing school and must have their status as a first-level, general nurse verified. Nurses who meet this requirement will take a one-day, paper-and-pencil examination that tests nursing knowledge and understanding, using objective, multiple-choice and alternate-item-type questions designed by nursing testing experts. This examination is named the CGFNS Qualifying Exam®, which has been administered worldwide since 1977 to nurses educated outside the United States who wish to practice in the United States. It satisfies the examination component of both the CGFNS Certification Program and the VisaScreen® Visa Credentials Assessment program. The exam is divided into two parts: Nursing Part 1 and Nursing Part 2. Nursing Part 1 includes 150 questions and is completed in two hours and 30 minutes. Nursing Part 2 is composed of 121 questions and is completed in two hours. |
