NJ Licensure by Endorsement

U.S.A. New Jersey

Published

i am peanut, 22 years old and an RN from the Philippines. I currently hold a license from the State of Vermont and I am going to apply for a licensure by endorsement in NJBON.. now, my dilemma is i am still here in the philippines, i read the post about if you're not subjecting yourself for a livescan, it takes about 3-4 months for the process? I am now awaiting for my packet 4 which i don't have any idea when will it arrive,

my packet 3 has been completed last jan.24,2006. I still don't have my SSS no. since my agent will be forwarding it together with the packet. Can I ask for your advice on what shall i do? should i file it already while here in the phils. or just there in NJ? How about the license verification? Shall I use the nursys? VT is included. I hope you can shed light to my queries.

thank you very much.

it's me,

hello!

i believe peanutrn's statements are right about the nj licensure by endorsement.

[color=#2323dc]this is according to the latest endorsement packet of nj-bon

" requirements for licensure by endorsement

1. complete the certification and authorization form and have it notarized.

2. written verification of licensure in good standing from the state in which the applicant

was originally licensed, currently licensed, and from every state in which the applicant

has ever been licensed. the verification shall be forwarded directly to the new jersey

board of nursing from the applicable state board(s), if those state(s) are not listed on the

nursys license verification form."

contrast that with the requirements in addition for passing the nclex for foreign nursing graduates as stated in the application packet for licensure by examination that says:

"1. a certificate from the cgfns must be sent directly to the board of nursing office upon your request. it must be on file before you are eligible to take the test.

2. a copy of your license from the country where you acquired your education must be on file with the board of nursing before you are eligible to take the test."

in addition, according to the application packet for licensure by vermont-bon:

"3. request the director of your school of nursing (or other authorized officer) to complete the"verification of education" form, and return the form along with a certified copy of your transcript. (not required for applicant's applying with cgfns certificate)

4. submit one recent passport type photograph (2 x 2) in size, head and shoulders only. attach photo to application.

5. submit a copy of your current license, in good standing, which shows an expiration date."

and as quoted by suzanne in one of the posts in, "re: questions for suzanne4":

" you are much better off to go the route of licensure in vermont. you will just need the prc to send verification that you passed, proof need to come from them, since you took the exam."

basing on all above discussions (including that of the international forum as moderated by suzanne), i guess the best path for those with these following circumstances:

a. currently holding a local license in good standing.

- or probably have passed the local boards but the license card is not yet available

b. wants to take nlex asap and funds is not an issue .

c. wants to get their states-side license for vermont and/or nj.

d. doesn't want to apply for ces (for nj licensure) for any reason.

apply and pass the nclex through vermont, make sure the license is issued, then apply for nj license through endorsement.

by the way i have emailed the contact person listed at the application packet of vermont concerning about the local license requirement. i asked him/her if sealed certificates of passing maybe passed in lieu of the the license. i'll keep you posted in case my query is answered.

To peanutRN:

How did Vermont issue your permanent license? I mean did it just used the 2x2 picture contained in the original application.

How about NJ? Can you elaborate more about NJ's permanent license issuance. Am I correct with this statement: NJ doesn't issue its permanent license without the security check and SSN?

Thanks much.

hello, i have a similar dilema though the diference is that i won't apply to nj, but probably ca

if i plan to take my initial nclex in vermont but don't plan to work there, do i have to work there first before i can endorse my license to another state?

for vermont, is the endorsement process to another state take long? or i don't need to go to vermont to get my license but instead apply for the online endorsement to another state?

thanks

hello everyone again,

ms. gregoria marrero from nj just replied to my email, this was her reply, "we now require the "full education course by course report" and toefl" that was her only answer, but she didn't answer my other questions.

*sighs* if i email her again i have to wait for another 2 weeks.

nurse plush:

"i've heard that in new mexico, people must work there before you can endorse your license since ppl have abused it as a step for initial licensure since its process is fast."

--- hmm thats new, i hope thats not true. i haven't heard of any state with that kind of policy that you have to work there before you can endorse.

After 8 days of passing the NCLEX, they send me a card which contains my license number and basic information. It does not contain a picture. Even the note from the pearson vue that you passed will use the picture taken on the testing site not the 2X2 pic..

NO SSN and CRIMINAL HISTORY BACKGROUND CHECK.. NO LICENSE in NJ..

By the way.. they issued my license yesterday, August 16,2006 through telephone..

I am just waiting for the physical license to come anytime next week..

To peanut RN:

I have another question hehe

After taking the vermont nclex, what was your next step?

1. endorse to NJ

2. Apply for VIsa screen?

Do you need to get an employer before the visa screen processing right?

i have been wondering what will i do after passing the Nclex, if I can endorse already or I have to apply for visa screen first but how can i apply for visa screen if my employer is from new jersey? =(

Do you have an agency that you can recommend? :p

thanks :p

Sakuji:

So you decided to apply in Vermont? I think ill go with New mexico since we still have the nursing issue here, I want to play safe hehe.
