im currently licensed in the state of california, but live in NJ .... i've filed for my license by endorsement here in NJ on the 3rd of last month (feb) and just received my fingerprinting sched. papers, im having prints done this wednesday ....... how long does it usually take from the fingerprinting to the issuance of the actual license?? :yeah:it already took them a month almost to send the fingerprinting sched paperwork ..... is nj really that slow in processing paperwork :chuckle
yeah, i guess we are kinda in thesame boat, i took my nclex in alabama and i got my license in a week; i waited 7 weeks before i got my fingerprints appointment here in NJ; it's just frustrating waiting, and if they were nicer on the phone i think i won't feel that frustrated. we can't really do anything now but be patient and wait, it 'll come eventually! it just sucks how slow the whole process is but i am thankful my documents were not misplaced at least! imagine that?
just about right... what you said.... im thinking the same thing too.. im glad they didn't lose my application because well... they cashed my check...hahahaha .... yeah i called the board once and it sounded like she didnt get enough sleep before she went to work ... hahahahaha ..... and thats what frustrates me because instead of helping you out with useful information so you dont call them anymore, you get so cockamamie answer which leaves you with more questions and you end up calling more than you need to because of their slow system....but i guess im just gonna have to wait too... problem is im already in jersey .. if i was in california it would not be a hassle ... i could care less when it came ... you know what im sayin' but....
yeah, i know! i am in NJ and i can't work or do anything but wait.... i am also waiting for my teaching license as well so i can teach and do health care but i can't do anything but wait.... and wait..... and wait....ha
how long's that gonna take... doesnt that go through the same process and through the same office??? wow.... you know its not even funny what we're going through anymore ..... huh???
i already put in my paperwork, they are so nice and polite on the phone and are ready to answer any questions regarding the application; i have to go for fingerprints as well as soon as my application is processed but it usually takes 6-8 weeks to process paperwork, so it's still thesame waiting game! it's not funny, i mean seriously, it is not funny at all!
wao! congratulations! is that the welcome letter or the letter with your license number and all? i got a letter saying welcome to NJ and that they are waiting for the results of my background check, i wonder how long the background check will take?
its the confirmation letter with my license number issue and expiration date ... and saying my license card will arrive 7 days after .... if and when you receive that paper ... you can take that to your employer ... as your record that your licensed and use it for employment purpose ....
That welcome letter you received .. tells you they just processed it ... so after 3 weeks or so you should either receive a letter with your confirmation and license number or another letter stating that the board needs additional documents, hopefully its the latter and not that ..... then if you do receive the confirmation letter with your license number .... check your last name on the website ... it should be updated and also placed there ... on the licensee section ......
hey, but why will they need additional documents? the welcome letter already states what they are waiting for, do u have an idea of what additional documents they might need?
and thats what frustrates me because instead of helping you out with useful information so you dont call them anymore, you get so cockamamie answer which leaves you with more questions and you end up calling more than you need to because of their slow system....but i guess im just gonna have to wait too... problem is im already in jersey .. if i was in california it would not be a hassle ... i could care less when it came ... you know what im sayin' but....
