i just recently graduated a pn program on the 27th and now have to register for my nclex test in nj. is there a way to fill out the application online and pay online too? and how long does it take to process all of this and then get where i have to go for my fingerprints and backround check? i also heard that after all of this i will get something in the mail and then have to pay an additional $200 for the testing itself and then i get a date how long does all of this take if i were to register in 2 weeks?
please if possible respond asap i would greatly appreciate it. thank you!

Hopefully it's the same as in California, but we did all of our fingerprints and completed the application prior to our graduation then our school submitted the applications to the BON in California on 6/18. We did have a little problem because our school did not send in all of our theory hours so the BON sent us all a letter last week asking us to have our school send the hours. I really thought it would take another 2-5 weeks before I get the registration packet, but last Friday I got my packet in the mail. This is the registration packet advising you that you have 6 months from the processing date in which to schedule/take your exam. I registered online, paid my $200 then called the NCLEX services because I didn't get a username and password so I couldn't access my account. Anyway, the guy went over my registration with me and provided me with a username and password. He also said that it would take up to 4 weeks to get my authorization to test however, when I checked my e-mail 10 minutes after I registered, my ATT was e-mailed to me. I was able to schedule my test for 8/15.
The NCLEX website is www.pearsonvue.com/nclex and the phone number is (866) 496-2539.
Hope this helps!

I graduated in NJ in May.....I send my papers the end of June and still I have not gotten my ATT. In NJ you have to send in the papers signed by your school and notorized to the BON. Then unlike NY you have to get fingerprinted next. You can log on to pearson vue and pay for the test now, when the BON deems you eligible your ATT will be sent out. Then you can schedule exam asap......what program did you graduate from?
From morris county tech I think I will send out the papers becuase it says that I need a passport photo with it. Thank you so much for your help. So in NY you dont have to be fingerprinted? and are you taking your test for NY and NJ
