Trying to endorse since September?Seriously!

I am a New York State licensed RN. I submitted all required paperwork and fees to NJ BON back in September. They cashed my check immediately, but never contacted me after that. I tried on numerous occasions to call to see what was going on, but on the rare occasions that I did actually get a human, they transferred me to voicemail, which I took as the equivalent of hanging up on me, as none of those messages were ever returned. SO finally one time they did connect me to a helpful human who told me that they were waiting on my fingerprints, as they sent me the fingerprinting forms "months ago" (no they totally did not) so he re-sent them. I did the fingerprinting 2 or 3 weeks ago, and still nothing. Is my experience typical? Do you have SOOOO many nurses in NJ that the board really can't be bothered to have just one more? Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me or commiserate. Sorry for the rant!
