Internationally educated first-level (registered) nurses take the CGFNS Qualifying Exam, now delivered as TruMerit's Nurse Qualifying Exam (NQE), for the TruMerit (formerly CGFNS) Certification Program and related credentials. Our practice set follows the current NQE blueprint: entry-to-practice clinical vignettes on physiological integrity, health promotion across the lifespan, emergency and disaster management, plus ethics, leadership, education, research and technology.
