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
yes, it checks verification from the board of nursing since i graduated from a nursing school in the U.S. they are only awaiting the results of the background check according to the letter, i am hoping it should be over in the next 3 weeks....
then you should be receiving a letter with your name typed on the envelope .... in 3 weeks with your certification, stating that you have been duly licensed in the State of New Jersey ...
its going to have your license number, and expiration date on it .... then the actual certificate and "card" (which is just a piece of colored paper with your name on it) that's how cheap they are .... will arrive in a like a week , but that certification letter you can take to your employer and its as good as your license ...
omg! the actual license is colored paper? wao! i have a plastic license from AL, i guess NJ is real cheap? i better start looking for a job and hoping i 'll get the license in 3 weeks. thanks for the posts!
yup a piece of blue colored paper, with your name and license number on it ...
thats what i said when i saw it for my self .... because i thought it was like my license from cali which somewhat resembles a credit card ... but nope its a piece of paper ... hehehehe ...i guess it makes up for it in the pay .. huh ....
I have multiple state licenses and NJ is by far the most incompetent. The staff is lazy, they don't return calls or email, no one knows what they are talking about when you do get a human being. Been waiting 9 weeks and the problem is all in the Boards office. NJ Sucks.
im just glad its over with ... christ i waited long enough...... but it'll be worth the wait ... trust me ...hopefully you get everything settled .... best of luck ....
ok, i have waited for 30 days since i had my prints done and decided to call the board of nursing, i was given my license number over the phone and they told me it was mailed to me on the 2nd of april and i still haven't received it yet but im glad i can call and verify it even though it's not on the system yet and i can't do a licensee search but i know i have my license number!.... happy it's kinda over! thanks all!
will arrive in a like a week , but that certification letter you can take to your employer and its as good as your license ...
