Removal of CGFNS in the State of Virginia
 

To Whom It May Concern,

May I request your good office to support the removal of CGFNS qualifying exam.  The CGFNS exam is unnecessary and a duplication of the NCLEX exam.  I will make myself as an example, I had to go to another country to take this exam and this not only delayed my coming here to answer the nursing shortage at that time but also put financial burden on me.   We don't need this exam, we have already the NCLEX which is the nursing-geared exam.

Thank you for listening,

Jennifer N. Aying, NP
