Valentin Buciumas, International Computer High School, Bucharest, 12th grade: "I like the way theory is explained and information is structured, as well as the use of examples.

Official Study Guide for the CGFNS Qualifying Examination, published by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools, 2nd Edition
Contains questions like those you will find on the actual CGFNS qualification examination. The questions are multiple-choice, "situation related" and representative of nursing as taught and practiced in the US. You can learn about the format and structure of the examination and identify your strengths and weaknesses through the practice tests.

The preparation materials that are available at the Fulbright Educational Advising Center can only be checked out for study in the reading room and cannot be photocopied. To check out materials in the study room, you need a valid ID.
