Fingerprint Question NJBON

HI --

I am in school in a far-away state. I just sent in all my stuff to get licensed and sit for the exam. I graduate in May and want to take the exam that same month. We move to NJ in early June and I plan to start working in August or September.

I got a letter today about the fingerprinting. I am worried that it says that there will be a significant delay (doesn't specify how much) since I am out of state and can't use their agency to do it. Here's my question: do I need to have this fingerprinting thing all resolved to sit for the NCLEX? If I get it done now and turned in, will I make it for May?

Or is this just to get a NJ license? Can I sit for the NCLEX without this being done yet (and go to their agency for fingerprinting when we move up there)?

Thanks -
Meredith
