CGFNS announces New VisaScreen® discount
1 MAY 2000
The Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS), through its division the International Commission on Healthcare Professions (ICHP), will no longer be able to offer the full discount currently given to nurses who are applying for VisaScreen®. The modified discount, which was formerly US$125.00, will be reduced to US$50.00 effective 1 November 2000.

However, rising costs for the VisaScreen®: Visa Credentials Assessment have compelled CGFNS to lower its discount in order to be able to continue providing the same high standard in its screening, evaluating and testing services that foreign-educated nurses worldwide have come to expect and depend upon.
