What are the differences between the CES report and the CGFNS Certification Program?
The CES report summarizes an applicants credentials. It does not include a pass/fail eligibility review or an examination as in the Certification Program. The CES evaluates the educational/professional credentials of multiple types and levels of healthcare professionals, while the Certification Program accommodates ONLY first-level, general (registered) nurses. A critical difference is that the CGFNS Certification Program indicates ones likelihood of passing the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN examination). Multiple, foreign-educated healthcare professionals can utilize the CES.
