We questioned the NJ Board of Nursing why this changes is not reflected on the Application Packet. The answer that we got is that they send mails instructing applicants to submit CGFNS CES Professional report.
Again, above requirement applies to nurses that hold active RN License from other states but had nursing education outside the United States of America.
This means that after you pass the NCLEX and got you RN license from New York and you wanted to be licensed in NJ, you have to apply and submit CES Professional report from CGFNS to NJ BON. CES cost around $350. CES is different from CGFNS' CVS that was submitted to NY Board of education.

I got my NJ license! Exactly 4weeks! They did not ask for CES report! I'm not sure why they did not ask me or maybe because I did my undergraduate/associate degree in nursing in NJ, I got my BSN in the Philippines! I'm so happy! best Christmas gift ever! But I lost a job offer! any ways, I got a phone call from other nursing facility and hospitals they schedule me for interview! Thank you so much Lord!
Your entry to practice degree was in the US so that's why you did not need CES
Hi. I know this post was last year but Im hoping you guys can help me. Im a licensed RN in NY. And i just applied a license endorsement in NJ. They asked me for a CES report from CGFNS. I read the packet of CES, and some states like NJ requires English Proficiency Exam. I am aware that you need to have the English exam if you applied for RN by EXAMINATION. Do i need to have the english exam too for my license endorsement?

Due to issues in recent years now you need to meet the same qualifications for endorsement as examination especially since NY doesn't require proof of English language proficiency. Poor English skills were linked to sentinel events.

Hi, did you pursue NJ endorsement? If so, im curious how did it go?
Hello everyone, I hold active RN License from NY state but had nursing education outside the United States of America. And now I want to endorse my license to NJ. I have CES report from CGFNS. Do I need to submit English score to the board as well? I tried to find the description from the website but I can't find it. Please help?
