The Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) is a non-profit organization based in the United States that provides credential evaluation, verification, and examination services for foreign-educated nurses and allied healthcare professionals. The organization was founded in 1977 to address the need for a centralized and consistent method of assessing the qualifications of foreign-educated nurses seeking to work in the U.S.[1][2][3][4][5]
