Can someone please explain how the temporary license from the CNO works?I am in the process of attending interviews for various RN positions and in the case of being hired, just curious if anyone has obtained a temp. license. I have indeed informed employers of my status of waiting for exam results, and some say they are willing to hire with a temp. license.1. How do you apply for the license?2. How long does the application process take?Hope someone can provide some info! Thanks a lot ! 0 Likes
toronto_nurse Jul 29, 2014 The main downfall with temporary licenses from CNO for nurses awaiting their results from the licensing exams is that if *knock on wood* the applicant/writer received notice that they failed the exam than the temporary license will be revoked and it will permanently show that on your Find a Nurse status on CNO's website. So the general public including prospective employers will know that the candidate has failed the licensing exam at one point in time. 0 Likes
