I totally agree with the Philippine Nurses Association of Virginia (PNAVA) to remove the CGFNS Qualifying Examination of Nursing Knowledge for those applicants eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.

In Virginia, according to statistical report by ACCN (  Facts About the Nursing Shortage in Virginia, 2007),that  by 2015 the number of Registered Nurses leaving the workforce will exceed the number of new RN graduates due to aging RN workforce. It is therefore important that inorder to be able to have accessible nursing workforce in the years to come, we now should abolish any barriers to the influx of foreign educated  nurses in the USA.
