http://www.state.nj.us/lps/ca/adoption/nurado060208.htmPlease call the published BON contacts listed above for assistance. It may be that if one has an active license in another state, has had continuous nursing practice with minimum # hours in another state, has continuing ed hrs, NCLEX passage may not apply.... let us know outcome.
Even though I no longer provide IV homecare in NJ, have kept my NJ license active since I do accept verbal orders from NJ physicians for PA home care patients...... just renewed last month and so much easier to keep license active.
