Application For NJ Nursing License

U.S.A. New Jersey

Published

Specializes in Ortho and Tele med/surg.

I have a few questions for the people who already went through the application process. I'm graduating in three weeks and I'm filling out the application for my nursing license. First, let me say that our school has done a terrible job about explaining the whole process to us. Anyway, I'm filling out the part where they are asking for "Postsecondary schools" I'm in a 2 year diploma program. They want you to write the "Title of diploma or degree obtained" but I haven't graduated yet. What should I write in that blank space?

Also, I'm a bit confused about the background check. Should I send the application for license with the application for the background check should I send them separately. I know there is a fee for $25.30. Should I pay that later when I get a notification in the mail for finger printing?

Also, I was born in another in another country outside of the United States, the part of the application where they ask for place of birth, should I write the city the country where I was born?

Thank You
