baccalaureate equivalency table from CNO

Pickles, you have been assess in two at the same time? or RPN first then RN now? Thank you so much for answering all my question :)

^ Yes, Pilipinas. I first submitted my application for eligibility as an RN but unfortunately assessed as not equivalent by the province thats why I have filled up my BET and submitted some other documents. In the meantime, what I did is to have my credentials assessed as an RPN and luckily they have given me the chance to practice here as an RPN after passing my CRPNE. Nursing is so much different in comparison back home. It would be a challenge for us new nurses to adapt.

Hi Pickles... So you received the BET form AFTER you were assessed to be not eligible for CRNE? I know some Pinoy nurses who also applied for RPN Assessment after being not eligible for CRNE... they took the CRPNE, passed it and working as RPN while some do the bridging while working, while others are not. They said that as long as one is a PH RN, one is eligible for CRPNE :)

You can't guarantee anything, the only way it can be determined is to apply and your transcripts are evaluated

It all depends on your credentials and if I may say the assessor too. Not all BSN from the Philippines are assessed as RPN equivalent. And yes, I have sent another set of application form and fee for my RPN assessment.

Yes, I have received my BET together with the documents that say that I am not eligible to be an RN.
