Removal of CGFNS exam as a requirement
 

I am in favor for the removal of the CGFNS examination for all Foreign Trained RN's. I feel that the English Exam, Nclex Exam and having their educational credentials evaluated by an approved educational credentialing services meeting the nursing program  standards of the NLN should  be enough to obtain licensure in the state of Virginia. Thank you.
