I want to be a nurse in America after graduation.

To be a nurse in America, you have to get an American nurse's certificate.

Standard for nurses in the United States

Nurses who go to the United States for employment must obtain the NCLEX-RN license of registered nurses in the United States, and provide English scores (TOEFL score 540, TSE oral score 50, IELTS A average score 6.5, and oral English score 7), and then apply for work visas (H- 1) or immigrant visas (green cards) for them to work in the United States through American hospitals. The NCLEX-RN license can be tested in the United States and its territories, or it can be tested in the United States after taking the CGFNS exam in a country outside the United States and obtaining a visa to the United States.

In the past, most nurses in China went to the United States by studying abroad, took the NCLEX-RN exam in the United States, and then went to the hospital to apply for a "green card" while working. As it becomes more and more difficult for students to get visas to the United States, more and more nurses choose to train and take exams in China, and use the special preferential visas given to nurses by the US Immigration Service to work directly in the United States.

Introduction to CGFNS: 1. This is an exam organized by the Graduate Committee of American Foreign Nursing Schools. This organization is composed of American Nursing Association, National Nurses Union, American Council of Nurses, American Hospital Association, US Immigration Service and New York State Department of Education. She is a non-profit organization, whose purpose is to ensure that foreign nurses obtain the registered nurse qualification (NCLEX-RN exam) in the United States and meet the requirements of American nurses' operational skills.

Since the late 1960s, there has been a shortage of nursing staff in the United States. At that time, only 65,438+05-20% nurses who went to the United States from abroad passed the NCLEX-RN exam. The purpose of CGFNS examination is to test whether graduates from foreign nursing schools can meet the standards of registered nurses in the United States and pass the NCLEX-RN examination after going to the United States. As long as foreign nurses pass the CGFNS exam, they can sign contracts with American medical institutions, and American employers submit visa applications to the Immigration Bureau. After working in an American medical institution, you can take the American Registered Nurse License (RN). Since CGFNS established the examination in 1970s, the passing rate of foreign nursing school graduates taking the American registered nurse examination has risen to 85-90%.

3. Because of the notarization, rigor and authority of this kind of examination, English-speaking countries all over the world now regard this certificate as the primary examination qualification certificate of registered nurses in their own countries.

Brief introduction of registered nurse examination

NCLEX-RN registered nurse license is abbreviated as RN. Both graduates of American nursing colleges and foreign nurses who pass CGFNS examination to work in American medical institutions must pass RN examination before they can legally work as registered nurses. At present, there are three nursing bureaus in the United States that do not need to provide CGFNS scores for foreign nurses applying for RN. This is the best shortcut for China nursing school graduates who have no registered nurse license to apply for RN directly, and it also increases the operability for nursing college graduates to go abroad for employment directly. There are two ways to obtain a registered nurse certificate:

1, passed the CGFNS exam in Beijing, and the employer applied to work in the United States before taking the RN exam;

Go to Hong Kong, Britain and Canada to take the RN exam.

2. Apply for the RN exam directly, and the hospital will apply for a visa to the United States.

The application for the NCLEX-RN exam is similar to CGFNS, but it is not necessary to provide a registered nurse's license in the host country.
