Fees to pay

Silverdragon102, BSN · Sep 9, 2008

i'm done with ces and will be sending my application to nj bon within this week. however, it bothers me if i already need to send $200 to pearson/vue. as stated in the nj application form...
...."in addition to the application fee, the applicant must submit a certified check or money order in the amount of $200 along with the test application to the testing company ncs pearson/vue. (the envelope with the application is included within the examination candidate bulletin.)"

do i need to send $200 for testing fee to ncs pearson/vue already? my friends paid to pearson/vue with a credit card and they paid it when they already received their att. now, i don't really know how much to send. please enlighten me. thanks.

pearsonvue will be the ones that will issue you your att and they will not issue it without payment.

do i need to pay it asap? will it have an effect on the status of my application in NJ BON?

Generally foreign nurses are advised to wait until you receive eligibility in case there are any delays with application but any doubts you could always contact BON

okay. still quite puzzled but thank you very much.

you will have to wait for NJ BON to receive all your documents before you register with pearson. confirm it with the BON through email

to be sure that they received the docus. after that, register with pearson online and pay through credit card. i registered a week ago and i already received my ATT. :) hope all goes well. good luck!

Thanks rke18. Btw, should i send the certification and authorization form for the criminal history and background check together with my application to BON? How's the fingerprinting process?

What do you think about this?

I have a friend who is my nclex-NJ-buddy. we are buddies since we planned to do the application process, review as well as taking the exam together (if scheduling permits). i am wondering, if we can send our docus to NJ BON as one package or mail so that it will cost us less (i.e. fee divided by two) knowing that sending docus through courier from the PI to the US is quite expensive. Do you think it's okay? Or applications should be received by the BON as an individual mail?

thank you very much. goodluck to all of us.

yes, send your application together with the criminal history and background check authorization. after BON receives those, they will send the fingerprint cards. you would have to go to NBI Carriedo (the one in quiapo) to accomplish the fingerprint cards.

i think they wouldnt mind if you send your documents together. but just to be sure, you might want to ask the BON about that.

You may send your documents together in one courier envelope, just make sure that each of your documents are completely separate from the other so best to place each in separate envelopes and then in that one carrier.

This is done all of the time, even entire classes do it like this, so not a problem at all.

rke, how much did you pay for the fingerprinting? did you pay it through money order?
