The CGFNS Certification Program is designed only for first-level, general nurses educated and licensed outside of the United States who wish to assess their chances of passing the U.S. registered nurse licensing exam, the NCLEX-RN, and attaining licensure as registered nurses within the United States.
The exam is now held three times a year in London and all applications are processed at CGFNS headquarters in the USA.
The exam program is comprised of a Credentials Review, a one-day Qualifying Exam of Nursing Knowledge, and an English language proficiency exam. Upon successful completion of all three elements of the Program, the applicant is issued a CGFNS Certificate.
You must provide evidence of having covered theory and clinical education in medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and psychiatry in your nurse education and also have three of more GCSEs. If some of these areas have not been covered during your nurse education, it may be required to gain this education before sitting the exam. Check with the CGFNS or the board of nursing in the state where you intend to practice whether the experience you have been offered is likely to meet their requirements.

NCLEX-RN exam:
The NCLEX-RN exam is the most important qualification to get if you want to work in the USA. You will not be able to practice as a nurse without first getting this qualification.
NCLEX-RN examinations are completely computerized and you can arrange to sit them all year round.
