CGFNS CES Transcript Validation Form Question (Canadian RN looking to work in the US)

Published

Hello!

I am currently a practicing RN in British Columbia, Canada. I've graduated from McGill University and received a Bachelor of Science which was not nursing related. I completed my nursing degree at the University of British Columbia. Anatomy & Physiology were completed at McGill University which served as prerequisites in being admitted to nursing at the University of British Columbia. 

I emailed CGFNS about the need for evaluation of my McGill transcript and they replied that Anatomy & Physiology would indeed need to be evaluated even though the degree I completed there was not nursing. I read this page from the McGill website: https://www.mcgill.ca/student-records/proof-reg/applicationservice which states that you can submit documents for McGill to complete them.

I made this post as I was wondering if anyone else went through a similar process and also graduated from McGill? I plan on calling McGill during business hours, but I am wondering how we can request McGill to attach an official transcript and course syllabi with the transcript validation form. Or does it need to be separately ordered? I read this page from their School of Nursing to try to seek more information even though I did not complete nursing there: https://www.mcgill.ca/nursing/students/student-advising/graduation/licensing-forms which says there is an option to Add Documents but I wonder if this information is outdated? Does CGFNS also accept MyCreds (used by McGill now)?

Thank you!
