:waving: Hi, mottaka! For information on the CGFNS, please check out this link: Commision on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) It pertains a bit to your classes, and is a predictor of how you will do on NCLEX. Of course, you will need to take the CGFNS test first.

Good luck, and keep us posted on how you do.

I took the NCLEX here in Dallas Tx. Feb 9, 07 and passed!! I did the Saunders review and the Kaplan. I found the Kaplan to have more challenging questions and therefore I believe it was more useful to me. Hope this helps and good luck.

I recently took the Nclex and passed after 75 questions. At first I thought that it shut down because I had failed miserably, but I guess all that studying paid off.

I have started a blog about the Nclex exam and the Visa screen process as I am looking to move from Canada to the US this year. I would be more than happy to provide any help. Let me know.
