Uh, a bit back took me 3 months total..they lost my paperwork twice. I wasn't very impressed and ended up not going to Jersey so it was a huge waste of time and money. Better luck to you.

They weren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the box when I talked to them either. Go figure. They definitely weren't helpful. good luck to you

Unfortunately, NJ doesn't have a stellar reputation for paperwork - even by "bureaucracy standards" :(

Good luck!

you are so lucky! i applied for licensure by endorsement about the same time you did last month, i have called the new jersey board of nursing to ask about the status of my application and i didn't get any favorable reply, i was told it takes about 3-4 weeks to get the finger prints info. i guess i 'll just keep waiting.... that sucks! goodluck with the whole process.

they already cashed my application check the day after i had my prints done.... but yet failed to send me info regarding the status of my license .... all my requirements had to be complete else they would not process the check am i correct in saying that??? they're so quick to cash checks but yet give no info on whether or not the status of your application is ok or not what the hell??? :down::banghead:

i am sure your license is being processed since they already took your check; i just wonder how long it will take to get your license after the fingerprints and background check???
