Those doctors that did not pass the exam failed because they did
not prepare for the exam.  While I have written that most doctors
could probably pass the exam without taking the course,  I did not
intend to imply that exam could be passed without studying or
reveiwing the materials to be examined.

February 2006, First doctor to complete CGFNS Certification
Program requirements, by passing CGFNS exam and receiving
acceptable scores on English language test, receives CGFNS
Certificate.  

December 2005, the Russian Ministry of Health acknowledges to
CGFNS, in an official written response, that the MD/Nurse Diploma
Program is Federal Government authorized, and the diploma earned
permits the holder to work as a medical nurse in Russia.  These two
points are requirements of CGFNS of any foreign nurse diploma for
recognition for it's certification program.

Medical Doctors, Dental Doctors and Homeopathic Doctors
are presented with a unique opportunity to earn Nurse
Diplomas in one-year excelerated educational programs.
The Nurse Diploma will qualify the doctor for the CGFNS
certification program. Earning the CGFNS Certificate will
permit the doctor to immigrate with a green card to the
USA, or when passed into law, as proposed, work in the
USA under a "W" non-immigrant visa, which itself will lead
to a green card.

All information on the nurse retraining programs,
immigrant visas, non-immigrant visas, the green card
process, and working in the USA as a Registered Nurse is

Doctors enrolling into our programs can be assured that
completing the MD/Nurse Program at MAPS or the nurse
retraining program at the St Petersburg State University,
and passing their CGFNS exam will qualify them to be
sponsored by a US employer for their green card or their
non-immigrant "W" visa to work in the USA as a Registered
Nurse.  More importantly, doctors are able to pursue their
professional goals of becoming licensed physicians in the
USA.
