    I applied for this also. Just got my NJ license and sent it to them, so haven't gotten accepted yet. How about you? I sent some emails to students graduating and got back about 5 replies. They were...

  7. Temp License between Grad and NCLEX?

    Thanks for the info -- but I have to say, I do think it's better to be able to start work as a GN at a GN rate of pay and responsibility instead of being an intern or tech. Especially since 88% of us...

    It took one week and one day after my official graduation date. I thought that was pretty good, considering that I am getting licensed out of
  13. where are the jobs for new nurses?

    So what can a new grad expect? I will be in North Jersey (Hunterdon county) and won't be ready to work until September -- we are moving there this summer. Do you need to work FT pretty much? I want to...

    All long did it take to get all that done after you graduated?
  18. Fingerprint Question NJBON

    Thanks for all the feedback. NJ nurses rock! I will adjust my thinking about making it for the exam in May. June would be OK. I better get online and register for the fingerprinting for June! Yikes, 6...
