New Jersey License Status

Hey guys, I do not know what is the problem right now, and I do not know what to do despite waiting. I took my NCLEX 6/22 and Passed it according to the quick result. However, I am still waiting for my license number. A lot of my friends got their license number 2 days - 1wk after their NCLEX (other states, I am the only one getting NJ license in my class).

I emailed BON, they told me they are still waiting for my transcript/letter of completion. I do not understand, my school mailed them once and emailed them once before I got my ATT. If they do not have my transcript how come they can complete my application and give me ATT and allow me to take NCLEX.

Has anybody received licenses from NJ recently, or is waiting for NJ license as well?

I received a call from an LTC regarding my resume and application last week, and she told me to wait after getting my license number and then call back. It was the first call I received after I applied so many places. I do not want to lose it.

The best way to deal with the NJ BON is to go there in person about your problem. They are notoriously slow. Take your transcripts with you, every ID you have, and whatever else they want. The office is in Newark. Hopefully they are open.

They demanded a copy of my divorce decree. For no reason. That's just one example of the nonsense they are capable of.

Thank you. My school emailed my transcript and letter of completion again to BON today, and I also email BON to tell them to look for my transcript and letter. If they reply to me they do not have my transcript and letter again, I may think about filing a complaint.

I hope the filing a complaint would be helpful if I have to do it.

Did you ever get your license?

Hey, not too sure who needs this information but I am a NJ resident who has been licensed in (RN) NY only, went through endorsement process on 10/28, anxiously I researched timing and saw an excess wait of around 2-3 months. I kept seeing people say that they had success going to the BON in Newark. Today is 11/16 today and went and had my license in 10 min after seeing someone. GO TO THE LOCATION AND GET LICENSED! Good luck
