In New Jersey, do you have to apply for a temporary license before you take the NCLEX like in PA? Thanks

NJ does not issue a temporary license.

Correct, no temp permit.

See NJ Nursing: Board of Nsg, Schools, Nsg Assoc, NCLEX scores, License info etc for license info.

Has anyone heard of the "transitional nurse" they have at Virtua?

Not true, many facilities offer graduate nurse positions. Basically you work under a nurse doing nursing duities (with exceptions) until you pass NCLEX. You also don't make as much as a nurse, but you still make decent money.

To answer your question best. I have a license in FL, NJ, and OH. Just renew your licenses on time. You can be licensed in all 50 states at the same time.
