Problems with transcript, not eligible for writingcrne

[Merrin]

Hello everybody,

I am an internationally educated nurse, did BscN from India. I applied to cno for getting eligibility for crne. While all other students from different institutions under the same university got eligibility for crne, the students from our institution didn't get eligibility and were suggested competency gaps. Though, our institution was a very reputed one with excellent standard, our transcript was not detailed enough for the cno to understand our academic and clinical background. Now, the institution realized their mistake and ready to provide a transcript which is of correct standard.

Is it possible for me to reapply to either cno or any other provinces to get eligibility with the new transcript?, or do you think as it is denied once , I may not get eligibility again. Your help highly appreciated.

Have you inquired with the CNO?

The most likely outcome to reapplying with the new transcript to CNO is that they'll be very suspicious of the new transcript. It could look like a fraud issue, even though it's not. "We rejected this applicant because the documentation wasn't detailed enough and look, here's another application with better paperwork. Hmmm." If you were supplying supplemental documentation it might be viewed differently. I think your best option right now is to speak to an assessment advisor at CNO and get advice specific to how they operate.

Thank you for the valuable inputs. Whenever I contacted cno, I got the customer service representatives. How can I get in touch with an assessment adviser at Cno?

You tell the person that answers the phone that because they are unable to answer your specific questions you need to be able to speak to someone actually involved in assessing IEN credentials. If they aren't willing to let you do that then you demand to speak to a supervisor.
