NJ APRN license

Published

Hi

Anyone have any idea how long the BON is taking for new APRN licenses these days? They’ve had my application for 3 weeks and just cashed the check. I’ve sat on hold for hours trying to talk to someone, for them to just tell me “we don’t give out timeframes, that’s up to the board, try calling back in 10 business days”. 
 

ugh.

They take a long time. Trust me, I know as I'm also licensed there. It's a chronically understaffed board, from the board members themselves (several vacancies) down to lack of administrative staff. It doesn't help that when you call you aren't actually talking to BON staff. Rather,, you're actually talking to customer service reps in the Division of Consumer Affairs that essentially triage issues for the various professional boards, etc... Keep harassing them.

Do you know how to apply for prescriptive authority in NJ as a NP?
