Nj Board of Nursing should be embarrassed. This is the most poorly run organization. If you call customer service do not expect to get any answers. They are just bodies answering calls with no information.. For months I have been waiting for my license to be reinstated with no answers as the what the hold up was. Finally I drove an hour and 15 minutes to Halsey street only to be told they could not find my money order order or application. I explained that I sent it months ago. Finally the lady went in the back and came back and said OK we found it but we need $80. I walked 5 blocks to the Post Office to get a money order even though I previously sent in the $50 that was requested on the application. When I came back she told me they had found my money order. She told me she had changed my address for me and put in the paperwork and I should be hearing from them. I then received a letter that was forwarded to me from a previous address which means she did not change my address. The letter stated that I was missing my birth certificate or passport along with the $50. I called and again no new information from the so called customer service. So once again I had to drive an hour and 15 minutes away To be told they couldn't find my money order again. I was so upset and told the lady she needed to speak to a supervisor and see what is going on because this makes no sense. Finally she comes back and tells me OK we found your money order. So now we're waiting for your background check.. There is no telling how long this is going to take. My husband who is a new applicant has been waiting for months with no new information. He handed in person all the necessary documentation requested. We drove back again and still they requested the same documentation again. They are very unorganized and lazy. While sitting there we heard countless stories of nurses and Home Health Aides coming and going with similar issues.

Very unprofessional. Everytime I call, I get different answers from them. Not giving correct information. Each person gives different answer and you waste your time that way.They do not work according to processing time. I emailed them for the updates but no reply in 3 weeks. Very frustrating to deal with NJ board.

I registered in July to take my test at this point I'm still waiting on my att and It is now October. This process of waiting is damaging to the nursing student as as time passes you tend to forget some information and life goes on you can't always study for months on in. I've called over and over every week. they've gave me every excuse until they ran out.they even blamed me at one point. who ever takes these calls sounds like they're taking them from home and has no idea about what the real hold up could be. they just tell you anything to move the call ahead and get you off he phone. But there is nothing the call center people can really do to move the process any quicker. This is the worse experience ever as I've been waiting far too long. It takes the joy out of becoming a nurse.

GO IN PERSON TO THEIR OFFICE! I have been waiting for my APRN license for months and their online systems did not do a great job at keeping us informed of processing paperwork etc. Additionally, despite calling only every day for the month of September for updates and regularly being provided conflicting information by staff only two people actually were helpful. Thank you to a woman named Tony (I believe), and an older gentleman whose name I forgot, but you both were the only folks who actually knew what was going on and were able to provide me insightful information! I finally, after delaying my start date at work for almost 2 weeks, gave in and drove 2hrs each way to the Newark office. I was in and my license was processed in less than 20 minutes! If you are able go in person, the staff in person helpful. We have to do better as an industry in updating or systems and providing the funding to do so. Also adequately training the staff that are working at these places. These delays in licensing, and poor electronic tracking systems are further contributing to our already problematic health care industry that suffers from staff shortages.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Leonie Bailey | Dec 26, 2021

Go online to the board of nursing I believe an there should be a process you go tho. If u work for an agency they should be able to do it for you. However making a trip to any board of nursing building if they are open (which I doubt) can do it for u. Being that most have posted a link to online u have to do it online.
