Well I found out the delay - the university that took over the records for my now non-existant school of nursing has not emailed CARNA back to confirm the existence of that old school of nursing!!!
I'm just about to start hassling said University! Then I hope my file will be done!
CARNA have had my paperwork since the end of Nov '07 & to be fair they said it would take about 6 months so they've not quite gone over time yet!
