First, what type of visa is she currently on? And yes, as a foreign nurse, NJ requires that the nurse have CGFNS certificate, and prrof of English, which is what she would have needed if she went the NJ route to begin with. If she qualified to sit for the NCLEX-RN back then, then that si what she should prepare for now.

Very few foreign nurses sit for PN exams in the US, onl yif they were unable to pass the RB exam, but if they going to prepare for an exam, they shouls go for the RN. She is going to have to revew the same material to pass that exam.
