Filipino Second Coursers applying with CNO

[kanebo]

Hi!

For those Filipino nurses who are second coursers and have lodged their application as RN in CNO, did you submit Verification of Course Completion and Transcript Request Form to the school/university where you had your first degree (not related to nursing) and requested them to forward it to CNO? If yes, at what stage in the application did you do this?

Because as far as I can remember there was nothing in the initial application forms sent by CNO that asked for the degrees that one has taken other than one's nursing education.

I was just wondering because this may have an impact in assessing the equivalency of our nursing education if we could prove to them that we had sufficient number years of study to compensate for the lacking years we had in our primary and secondary years prior to our nursing degree. But how would CNO take this into consideration if they do not know about it and are not asking for it? Did you take the initiative sending them the transcripts instead?

Could anyone share their insights and/or experiences on this? Thank you.
