UK trained nurse awaiting CES report but college are unable to state number of hours

Please help. :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

I am a UK trained nurse applying for licensure by examination to New Mexico. I have completed the CES report application, all required documents were recieved and the report status was ready for review. Now the documents have been reviewed and the transcript from my college has not been accepted because the College didnt complete the grid requesting the number of theory and clinical hours in each subject area. I have contacted them and they state it would be difficult to calculate the number of hours for each subject area as they dont keep that information on record. Please help, what do I do next? if this cant be resolved I will never get a CES report and subsequently never even have a chance to be assessed for NCLEX testing. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do?

Thankyou

I doubt there is anything you can do unless your university breaks down the elements as each subject is required to have x amount of clinical and theory time. You could also try the NMC and see if they have anything written down on what is required for you to meet NMC requirements enabling you to work as a RN in the UK
