just check your crnbc account from time to time to know your status.

i know but all it's saying is "not yet reviewed"..

then that's your status. there's no way to know where in the queue your application is, and because crnbc receives hundreds of applications every week, you're just going to have to be patient. they'll get to it when it reaches the top of the pile.

cyberfanatic,
once you've made eligible by CRNBC, you are given 2 years to comply the licensing requirements which includes taking the CRNE.
When it comes to experience, its up to the employer how much one you get before they will hire you. Some requires 2-3 yrs.
Good luck!

Hi I would like to confirm this. So after receiving your eligibility you are given 2 years to comply everything from taking the CRNE to applying for your license? I plan to apply for registration in CRNBC but not immediately take CRNE because I still plan to get some hospital experience in the Middle East before taking the exam. But I want to apply now for my eligibility so that I can make use of my IELTS. thanks!

Lately, CRNBC will give you 3 years to comply everything.

wow that would be great. I'll have plenty of time to acquire hospital experience while applying. I have read from one post here that her temporary license was revoked (??? I don't know if this is the term she used. I cannot find the one who posted it) because she failed crne by only 6 points. Without the license you cannot work right? Does it really have to be that way? Or is it between the employer and the person if he/she will still be given the chance to work and take the next schedule for the CRNE?

To breech again,

regarding your e-wallet, are the card number and the account number the same with 16 digits? I have an eon card and the card number is 16 digits but the account number is only 12 digits.

I'm worried maybe they can't access my account using this card.

I just want to ask about SEC. I opened CRNBC's website and I don't know why the FAQ's won't open. I would like to know what happens if you fail SEC? And what might be a big reason for requesting someone to do SEC.

Aside from that I would like to know if I have to answer the Nursing Experience part within the last 5 years. I started work just this month and this is my first job. Do I have to mention it right away on the application form? thanks!
