REMOVAL OF CGFNS AS A REQUIREMENT FOR OBTAINING AN RN LICENSE
 

I am in favor of removing CGFNS as a requirement for obtaining an RN license. I believe that imposing this is very racist and disallows other groups of nurses from various nationalities or countries who are qualified and experienced in coming in this country and take care of our sick ones. If there is a shortage of nurses in this country, then we should allow them to come and work here with us. Thank you.
