NJ Licensing for graduates of other countries

I am a graduate of BS Nursing in the Philippines. I passed my cgfns and my english proficiency exam. I am now trying to complete the documents needed for the nclex exam for new jersey. I have several concerns. First, In the application I have to pay separately for the fingerprinting. Can I just pay the $195 (application plus license fee) and the $33 (fingerprinting) at the same time so I just send the money once! It's cheaper.

Second, is there an online application for BON New Jersey? My NCLEX application was online so it was easier to process it. Even payment was online.

Third, The application is asking me for a transcript of records from my school at the same time asking me for a certificate from the cgfns to be sent directly to BON New Jersey to be eligible to take the test. Isn't it that passing cgfns meant that I have complied the requirements in lieu of my schooling? Isn't my cgfns certificate and my visa screen enough proof that I have all the credentials to take the nclex exam? Except of course for the fingerprinting. Please help.

The total fee of $195.00 made payable to the New Jersey Board of Nursing
(a money order or personal check is acceptable);

When the Board receives the Certification and Authorization Form for a Criminal History
Background Check, you will then receive instructions on the fingerprinting process.




they are not using online application.



just send what they require you to pass...
