NJ License

Published

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to ask if anyone knows how long it takes to get your RN license after passing the NCLEX.

I took the NCLEX the 29th and I still haven't received my license :(

NJ takes 4-8 weeks post NCLEX to issue a license (sometimes as few as 3) all licensed must be approved by board committee once NCLEX & full background check complete. You probably have another 7-10 days since there was also the Labor Day holiday in between

Ask for things like what? It takes 4-6 weeks for the NJBoN to review an application and issue an ATT via Pearson Vue then mail out the required finger print/background check forms. You can take the NCLEX before your background check is received but your application will not be reviewed for licensing until your file , including state & federal background checks, is complete.
