Ok, I did some research for you, Illinois is a compact state with NJ,

As of 2016.

You can work in no, for 30 days, if your declared residence is NJ, you will have to endorse to NJ BON.

Nope. Neither are compact states. You will need to endorse your Illinois license into NJ. Best to start sooner rather than later because in many places employers won't consider you without a license in the current state in which you are applying. Congrats on passing the NCLEX!

And NJ can take a while to obtain a license. Start now.
