<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Tomorrow, September 1, 2015, there will be new application forms posted on the Board’s website to reflect the change in the fingerprint process. Please use the new forms to avoid confusion with the fees. Once
the Board of Nursing has received the test application, certificate of completion, and testing fees, applicants will get a “Next Steps” email with further instructions and a link to Fieldprint’s webpage.
<b>As of September 1, 2015, fingerprint fees will not be submitted with the applications. Fingerprint fees ($64.50) will be paid to Fieldprint at the time the applicant schedules their fingerprint collection.</b> Applicants for testing must submit their exam
application and exam fees to the Board of Nursing before they can make an appointment for fingerprint collection. Please refer to attachments for more details. Debbie<o:p></o:p></span></p>
