hi there..as far as i know there are additional forms like job description, additional experience and education in the bet kit..does anyone here got the approval of the cno after submitting the equivalency table without submitting additional experience and education? thank you

by the way, that post above is for RN assessment only. There is no letter for the RPN assessment yet. Thanks..

good day to everyone! I am registered nurse from the Philippines and the US.I have worked as an ICU and Oncology nurse in the Philippines but none in the US.I have a permanent resident visa here in toronto using my being an accountant in the Philippines.I have submitted application for CNO assessment for both the rpn and rn and just received a letter from the CNO. |I guess this is not the result yet but additional requirements. So if any of you have the same experience maybe you can share your inputs here or anything at all related to this topic. The letter states that I am given 2 options. First is to Submit Additional information, and the second is withdraw my application. Withdrawal is never my option. Regarding the option 1, the CNO requires: 1) Baccalaureate Equivalency Table (BET) 2) any additional nursing education and/or experience 3)Job Description sent directly from each employer Regarding this I have several questions: 1) Is this letter something positive that the cno didn't directly give me the instruction to go directly to school and do the bridging? 2) Does this mean I have a chance not to go to school anymore? 3) I don't have any additional nursing education/experience would this be okay? If not, what courses will I take here in toronto to add to my information. 4) How much time do they give to submit these BET and additional information? The letter did state that I should inform them of my decision with regards to the 2 options which is 40 days from the date of the letter, but they didnt state the deadline for the submission of the BET and other additional information. 5) Am I allowed to go to the CNO and talk directly to my assessor? I would appreciate all your inputs here whether based on your experience or based on the experiences of others or anything at all that you can share here. thank you much!!!

yes thats whats happening in the Philippines. Agencies are saying that one is qualified so grab the opportunity.not knowing youll end up doing the dirty works at the warehousea and stuff like that. though i didnt go here as a caregiver and have a permanent resident visa, i dont think proper information was given to me to show the realities here.the good thing is i have a relative who has a higher position here in a nursing home that promised an rpn slot for me after il take the crpn exam..(networking here right same as the philippines)..and that person is also the one who gave me an accounting job here in the nursing home..I am doing the bookkeeping now, way below than being an accountant but still im fortunate to have a relative here and i dont need to work as janitor here..even janitors need certificate here...but still rpn pays more so im looking forward to getting the exam if im fortunate enough that the good people at cno would give me that elusive chance to take the rpn exam...more are coming from the philippines like me..and more skills will be wasted as for those immigrant who have no network here will definitely grab those survival jobs...well to each his own..just the realities of this world..hope canada or the philippines could give some solution to this issue..i dont know if that will happen though..for the meantime..well its important to stay positive rather than breakdown coz theres no turning back..i have also my documents processed for the cga examination so that i would know what subjects the cga will require me..paid another 300 though..but its okay rather than wait...working in the morning, studying quickbooks and accpac at night and saturday..until the cnos verdict will i receive then il do what i ought to...il just keep moving on til where the sun shines and there il go..thanks guys...

i have a permanent resident visa. my experience as an accountant helped at the same time the nursing experiences..

What I mean is I am already registered in the us. and had my registration forwarded to the us.yeah lots of confusion.and I am thankful thankful that you are replying to enlighten my confusion.at least you said that there is some purpose for my submitting my us registration to cno, though how little it is..with regards to where the idea of second courser IEN will be given preference by cno that i have no idea too.thats why i am seeking clarification too from the people around here whom i knows more about this topics.i am just thinking the total of 16 years education, that is 4 years nursing and 12 years pre nursing that is required here in ontario can be acquired too if i have two degrees or a total of more than 16 years.but then its the cnos call.i am just soliciting knowledge from you more knowledgeable people like you guys and that i appreciate much.thanks much!!

by the way i didnt just submit my nclex to cno for no reason at all.the cno form states that i put all my registration so i add there my nclex registration and spent money for the usa bon to sent my registration to cno.that is aside from my registration from the Philippines. if Canada, your country, which now happens to be my also my country, doesnt give meaning or has no value at all to my nclex, then why did the cno require me to submit that document to them?there must be a purpose for that for them..well, im just asking...thank you very much and if you have other inputs id be grateful for that..good day to all!!!

thanks for all your reply guys...i am already here in toronto as immigrant so its too late to do the research bwt the work opportunities as im swayed by the agencies that talks all good things..sugar coating everything..im just thinking the cno wanted 16 years of education.around 12 for the primary and secondary and 4 in nursing or a total of 16.i thought my other degree would help increase my total years of education to 16 years.il just wait for the cno.thnk you much for all your inputs and if there is something more that you can add id gladly appreciate it..thanks much!!

I couldnt find the stickies that you meant specifically for second-course topic.im sorry but i hope you can specify it further.im sorry.thanks!

thanks much for the reply.any other inputs id highly appreciate..crpne i mean..thnks!!

Good day everyone! this is the first time that im writing in here.I hope you can help me with me queries.This is my situation. I am a second courser nurse.My first degree is BS-Accountancy.Graduated nursing oct 2005 and have been working as an aicu nurse.I have my Nclex already but the US option is taking long so went to canada Ontario and already have paid for the cno assessment for both the rn and rpn. I have read from some postings here that if one is a second courser there is a chance that one can be approved to take the CRNE. If this is the case how will the cno know that i am a second-courser nurse since they only required the transcript from my nursing school. They didnt require my BS Accountancy transcript.Another is in the forms that they gave for the assessment, there is none there that asks for information if i have other degrees or something like that. It might be that i only missed it so I hope you guys can help so that i can submit or add any documents that would let the cno know that i have another degree to qualify for the 16-year education. Another question is with regards to my assessment for CRPN. Does my nclex have any bearing to it? \i mean will they let me take the crpn since i have this nclex? hope you guys can share some knowledge and experiences on this matter.thanks lots!!

I'm a BSN graduate in the Philippines and I'm planning to take the NCLEX-RN exam in Hongkong. I'm planning to apply at Chicago, USA. Do I still have to get an ATT in order to take the exam in Hongkong? What is this ATT all about?

ATT? How do I apply for it?

thanks
