Thanks!

You're saying you need to be fingerprinted to take the NCLEX? Must be a state thing--no need for that here. They DO take a scan of your finger and palm when you test, but no need for fingerprinting/background check to sit for the exam.

Are you thinking for licensure?

Yes, I am taking my NCLEX to get my license in another state. No way a new grad is going to get a job here, so I'm not even going to bother sitting for the Hawaii boards....then have to deal with the hassle of changing it over!!

Quick update:

There is a place in Restaurant Row called Image City, a small shop that does ink fingerprints. Super quick, cost just over $20. Just call and make an appointment first.

Police stations will do fingerprinting. I do not know what they charge in Hawaii.

I had to get my fingerprints done, and I went to the local police station to have it done. I do not remember how much it costs.
