The first CGFNS test in China is to be held in Beijing in July. Registrations is open till April 9.According to US labour law, nurses have to pass the National Council License Examination for Registered Nurses(NCLEX-RN)before they can practise. However, the NCLEX-RN is only useful in the US, making it difficult for people from other countries to get in. But, the US expects a shortage of 50,000 nurses by 2010.So,the CGFNS has not replaced the NCLEX-PN, which is still needed for work as a registered nurse in the US.So what exactly does CGFNS do?First of all, it helps international nurses qualify for a work visa for the US. Nurses educated abroad who do not haves a US license by the NCLEX-RN, must get the CGFNS certificate. But not everyone who gets a CGFNS certificate can get a work visa. There are many requirements for a visa, and the CGFNS is just one, said John Ratigan, immigration officer for the CGFNS.The certificate helps applicants meet requirements for the NCLEX-RN. For-two states require a CGFNS certificate from nurses educated abroad before taking the NCLEX-RN. According to Barbara Michols, chief officer of CGFNS, the CGFNS is cost-efficient for the Chinese. If they cant pass the CGFNS here in China, their chances of passing the NCLEX-RN for the US are tiny. This saves time and money on visa applications and the long trip. In a word, to get a CGFNS certificate, a person must have: a credentials review, the CGFNS qualifying exam of nursing knowledge and an English language proficiency exam.60. We can infer from the text that to people hoping to woke as registered nurses in US,CGFNS tests can be taken .A. nowhere but in the US B. somewhere outside the USC. in every country but the US D. both in China and the US61. According to American labour law, people cannot work as nurses until they pass A. NCLEX-RN B. CGFNSC. CGFNS and NCLEX-RN D. CGFNS or NCLEX-RN62. We can learn from the text that .A. if you get a CGFNS certificate, you can pass the NCLEX-RN in the US and get visa applicationsB. if you pass the NCLEX-RN in the US, you can get a CGFNS certificate and get visa applicationsC. if you cant pass the NCLEX-RN in the US, you will not be able to pass the CGFNS examinationD. if you get a CGFNS certificate, you will be more likely to pass the NCLEX-RN Examination63. What is probably the best title of this passage?A. The CGFNS helps international nursesB. The first CGFNS test in ChinaC. The CGFNS and the NCLEX-RND. Working as registered nurses in the USCObama still smokes in secret US President Barack Obama may have just made life more difficult for cigarette makers, but he still smokes every now and then in secret. Obama, who has publicly struggled to quit smoking, said he still hasnt completely kicked the habit even after signing a law this week that will likely set tough new rules for the tobacco industry. “As a former smoker I constantly struggle with it. Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No,” Obama said at a news conference. I dont do it in front of my kids, I dont do it in front of my family. I would say that I am 95 percent cured, but there are times where I mess up,” he said. The new law gives the US Food and Drug Administration the power to strictly limit the making and marketing of tobacco products. At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said that he was among the nearly 90 percent of smokers who took up the habit before their 18th birthday. Once you go down this path its something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the law we signed is so important because what we dont want is kids going down that path in the first place,” he said at the news conference. Nearly 20 percent of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the United States due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases. 64.
