Can't remember if you already have a GC or citizenship but if you have you still need to apply to the state BON/BRN and send all your documentation again and they will decide whether to allow you to sit PN or not. If you are not immigrant or citizen then the process is same but PN will not assist with GC you have to be RN for that.

You have to apply from the beginning again for the PN and that means everything has to be sent again (as far as I am aware) May be worth just concentrating on RN and passing the exam
