You have to send the application for examination in the mail to the Board of Nursing with the fee of $150. Then once they let you know that you are cleared to re-take (usually that takes 3-4 weeks), you can register with PearsonVue to take the actual examination. PearsonVue's fee is $200 to sit for the exam. Two separate fees with two separate places, totaling $350. Unfortunately, there is no way to apply online with the board, so you just have to wait the 3-4 weeks for approval.

I'm in the same boat. I mailed my letter for re-application on 7/28 and I'm still waiting for approval from the board. :smackingf

Also remember you have to wait a certain period of time before you can resit the exam, most states require 45 days although some it is 90 days
