Features: Currently, healthcare institutions in many countries worldwide are experiencing a shortage of nurses to varying degrees, with the situation in the United States being particularly acute. It is estimated that by 2010, the shortage of registered nurses in the U.S. will reach one million. For the vast number of Chinese nurses aspiring to become international nursing professionals, this should be an opportunity. The first CGFNS examination (U.S. nurse certification examination) was held in Beijing in 2003, leading to growing interest in the exam among domestic professionals. Who is suitable for taking the CGFNS examination? How can one successfully achieve international practice by obtaining the CGFNS certification? The editors of this book conducted extensive research in both the U.S. and China, collecting many first-hand materials. Based on a deep understanding of the differences between nursing education and nursing work in China and the U.S., they specifically provide guidance to help a large number of Chinese candidates effectively address the challenges posed by cultural differences between the two countries. Additionally, the book offers effective guidance throughout the entire process—from taking the exam to finally obtaining a work visa to work in the U.S.
