申請新墨RN考試步驟細節談

1 需要的材料：報名表格—從網上下載（http://www.bon.state.nm.us/forms/ExamApp0907.pdf）；
指紋卡兩份；
fingerprint certification form一份
nationwide criminal background check 一份；
(http://www.bon.state.nm.us/forms/FingerprintingInstructions.pdf)；
美元匯票；payment form;
http://www.bon.state.nm.us/forms/VERIFICATIONSfee.pdf
學校出具的成績單中英文（含實習學時）。
2 報名表：個人的感覺沒有什麼需要特別注意的，按照要求如實填寫就行了。沒有的比如ssn添none即可。
3 指紋卡：新墨郵寄指紋卡，OR MAKE REQUEST
(http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/forms/description-fd258.htm)。在市公安局作的指紋，按照指示做就行，印完之後還要他簽名（在指紋卡相應位置）然後在他的簽名上蓋上公章。記得做兩份。一共100塊。
4 fingerprint certification form： 這個也沒有什麼好說的，按照要求添就行了。和指紋卡一起讓簽字及蓋章。
5 nationwide criminal background check：需要公正的只有這個——簽名公證！之前要把這張紙上的內容自己翻譯一下列印出來，因為公證處要留底, 當著公證員的面把名字簽上（當然是簽拼音不是漢字阿）然後給他，三天後這張紙會被訂在一份五頁的公證書中。需要說明的時公證處不會直接在這張紙上蓋章但是不要擔心，公證書上的鋼印已經是有效的了。一份200元, 至於attention以下的部分自己添添就行。
6 匯票：如果有護照就可以直接拿美金買匯票，沒有護照的就只能先用人民幣購匯再辦理。記得一定要帶本人身份證，還有各個地區規定不同，這邊要收手續費20,也是三個工作日之後才能拿到，在目的地地址處添New Mexico Department of Public Safety。
7 payment form：就是160美金，用visa卡。
8 中英文成績單：是從學校直接發出的，其他沒有什麼好說的，就是學校蓋章的正式成績單。耐心仔細閱讀那些instructions,查詢哪裡辦指紋卡哪裡做公證而已。
9 重審核,指紋卡有效期已過。第一次差不多用三四個月的時間。nm現在的辦事效率很低，重審核，沒有牽涉到任何證件的補辦，也等了近2個半月，要重審指紋卡，那麼最少應該也要3個月了
10 表格上有一項是：DECLARATION OF PRIMARY STATE OF RESIDENCE IS MANDATORY FOR LICENSURE （原始居住州聲明），還用黃線加重。就填你所報名的那個州，以後轉執照還可以變更。
