Hello, I'm a foreign license nurse and I want to be a CNA in the state of New Jersey. I am just confuse about the waiver request and way to process my application. Do they have a waiver form to filled out and submit to them. Are they accepting TOR directly from CGFNS not from the school? Your response will be a big help thank you!
