This section addresses some common questions frequently asked by internationally trained nurses seeking to work or practice in the United States. It covers a range of topics related to CGFNS services, credential evaluation, licensure, and visa requirements.

    CGFNS International, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in the United States that provides a variety of services to internationally trained nurses.  Their services include credential evaluation, visa screening, exam registration, and professional development resources.

    Credential evaluation is a process of assessing your foreign nursing credentials, including your education, training, and experience, to determine their equivalency to U.S. nursing standards. 

    Many state boards of nursing in the United States require a credential evaluation report as part of their licensure application process. This verifies the authenticity and equivalency of your foreign credentials. 

How do I apply for a credential evaluation?

    To apply for a credential evaluation with CGFNS, create an online account, gather required documents, fill out the online application form, and submit your application with payment.

What documents do I need to submit for credential evaluation?

    Required documents usually include a copy of your nursing license or registration, official transcripts from all nursing programs you've completed, diplomas or certificates, and any supporting documentation as specified by CGFNS.

    The NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses) is a standardized exam required for licensure as a registered nurse in the United States. It assesses your knowledge and skills in various nursing areas.

    To register for the NCLEX-RN, you'll need to meet specific eligibility requirements, including having a valid nursing license, completing required education, and passing a credential evaluation.  You can register through Pearson VUE, the authorized testing organization. 

What visa options are available for nurses seeking to work in the U.S.?

    Common visa options for nurses include the H-1B visa for specialty occupations, the Green Card (permanent residency) through employment-based or family-based pathways, and other temporary visa options like the J-1 or TN visa. 

    Visa application procedures vary depending on the visa category. You will need to gather necessary documentation, complete an application form, and submit it to the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate. 

What are the English language proficiency requirements for nursing licensure in the U.S.?

    Most states require you to demonstrate English proficiency through a recognized test like the TOEFL or IELTS.

    You can reach CGFNS Customer Support through their website, phone, email, or live chat (if available). They provide assistance with applications, evaluation reports, exam registration, and general inquiries.

Where can I find additional information about licensing requirements for nurses in the U.S.?
