CGFNS redesigns its website

The CGFNS International website (www.cgfns.org) has been redesigned to improve navigation and streamline the information located on the site. The redesigned website will launch November 1, 2006. Applicants are still able to apply online, check their status online, and download applications from the website. New logos have been created for all CGFNS programs. Under each program is a link to a Requirements document that has been developed for each program in pdf format. "Announcements" now has its own section on the website. General news is located under "About Us", along with important information about CGFNS International.

A new "Tools and Information" section has been added to the website. This section contains various subsections for the various audiences who visit the CGFNS International website, including applicants, state boards of nursing, recruiters/employers/immigration attorneys, and test site administrators. Statistical data regarding the number of certificates/reports issued for each program and the top countries of education is also contained in this section. The document library contains electronic copies of various CGFNS publications. Frequently Asked Questions can also be accessed in this section.

The online store, containing various study aids and other materials for purchase, remains part of the CGFNS International website. The "Contact Us" email form is also linked to the homepage of the website. Emails are answered during CGFNS'' normal business hours.
