CGFNS opens exam center in Moscow of the Russian Federation
The Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) is pleased to announce that it is opening an exam center in Moscow, Russian Federation, to conduct the CGFNS Qualifying ExamSM for nurses. The exam center number for the Moscow location is 929. The exam center will be open for the 9 November 2005 exam. The deadline for applying (for the Moscow center only) is 5 October 2005. The deadline for applying for the November exam for all other centers is 10 August.
CGFNS administers its exam four times each year for nurses educated outside the United States who wish to practice nursing in the United States. The exams are offered at over 40 locations worldwide in March, July, September and November.
The CGFNS Qualifying ExamSM is designed for first-level, general nurses educated outside the United States, who wish to become licensed in the United States. The majority of U.S. states require that foreign-educated nurses pass the CGFNS Qualifying ExamSM before they will be authorized to sit for the NCLEX-RN® (the U.S. national licensure exam for registered nurses).
