good day! I need help. I am a foreign grad. Philippine grad to be exact. I have been in nursing for 10 years (UK, KSA). I recently asked University of Phoenix to evaluate my credentials if I am qualified to take MSN course or should I consider taking extra credits to qualify. Its been a month now and I am still waiting for their reply. I called a week ago and the lady who is handling my application said that it will take a little bit of time for a foreign grad's credentials to be assessed. My question is that how much time is little time? She cannot tell me any exact number as she said it will depend on who will evaluate my transcrips of records. I wonder whats wrong with it. Any info pls. I really wanted to enhance my skills more and I am so excited to start it ASAP. Shall I look for another school? online or classroom? I work fulltime in a very busy ward right now but I am confident that I can squeeze through some time studying anywhere really. whe:bluecry1:ther at home or campus. It is the credential evaluation result that is holding me back..

It can vary, some go t CGFNS for cred eval and can take up to 4 months. I would just wait a bit longer as a lot depends on how quick they receive your transcripts and work out whether equal to US

Thanks for the reply. All transcript of records and original copies has been sent and receipt has be acknowledged. I cannot enroll to MSN program until they tell me I am qualified..sigh...
