About the New Jersey NCLEX exam
New Jersey Board of Nursing. Like every state, New Jersey adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- NCLEX + state licensing fee: approximately $200 NCLEX fee + $100 NJ fee.
- State nursing board: New Jersey Board of Nursing.
- New Jersey is NOT an NLC member; New Jersey has one of the highest nurse salary levels in the nation driven by its proximity to New York City.
