hello Cim... talagang ang initial assessment packet that is sent through email by the CNO for RN applicants ONLY INCLUDES THE VERIFICATION OF COURSE COMPLETION... they will evaluate you INITIALLY based on your nursing curriculum... then you will receive a letter acknowledging the receipt of your application and (if your TOR has been sent by your school already at the time the letter was generated) verification of course completion... it is stated in letter as well to give them 12 weeks to decide on your application... but expect them to give you a feedback on your application in less than 12 weeks... dun na nila ipapadala ang VERIFICATIONS FOR EMPLOYMENT, LICENSURE and ADDITIONAL NURSING EDUCATION... kasama din dito ang OPTION FORM (where you will be asked to withdraw your application or agree to submit additional requirements to facilitate your assessment) at BET (Baccalaureate Equivalency Table)... yung iba dito na march na nag apply, wala daw silang BET na natanggap... pero kami ni paulferrer na nov last year nag apply, may BET pa kasama...
from what i gather, here is how the CNO evaluates each application... first, they evaluate the nursing education... if they find it sufficient, they will issue an eligibility, pag kulang (which is mostly the case for IENs from the Philippines like us because we lack 2 years of pre-admission to their baccalaureate degree - 10 years lang tayo dito (6 years sa GS and 4 years sa HS) samantalang sila 12 years (8 yrs GS, 4 yrs HS)... so yung may mga MAN or MSN degrees, nakakakuha agad ng eligibility dahil yung 2 years nila ng MAN corresponds to the 2 years that we lack... ang baccalaureate degree nila is pareho lang sa atin actually, yung 2 years na lintik na yon ang kulang satin...
if they find your nursing education lacking, they will further evaluate your suitability to take the CRNE through your EMPLOYMENT HISTORY, ADDITIONAL NURSING EDUCATION and the BET...
the rest of the requirements like Proof of Language Proficiency, Verification of Registration, Proof of Residency etc. etc., you can submit this anytime during your registration process... pero para ma evaluate ka nila kung eligible ka mag take ng CRNE yun lang EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT HISTORY, ADDITIONAL NURSING EDUCATION AND BET ang kailangan nila... this is what you have to comply with agad para ka nila ma assess for the exam... hanggang hindi mo ito na co-complete, your application will not undergo initial assessment...
sorry mahaba... hahahaha! iyan ata ang trademark ko sa posts ko... lalo pag may ine-explain ako hehehehe... i hope this helps ;D
