Dear Applicant:
In November 2003, legislation was passed that requires the Division of Consumer Affairs to conduct
criminal history record background checks on all health care professionals prior to the issuance of an initial
license or other authorization to practice a health care profession (N.J.S.A. 45: 1-28 et seq.). The records of
the Division show that you are a current applicant for licensure or certication as a health care professional,
and as such, the Division must arrange to conduct a criminal history check of your background.
In order for the Division to conduct a criminal history record background check, you must complete the
enclosed Certication and Authorization form and return it to the mailing address above.
(In-State Applicants)
Upon receipt of the completed Certication and Authorization form, the Board will forward your information
about how to schedule an appointment with MorphoTrust, Inc., to have your ngerprints electronically
recorded. A $62.70 ngerprinting fee must be paid to MorphoTrust, at the time of ngerprinting. The
$62.70 payment should be in the form of a check or money order made payable to MorphoTrust.
(Out-of-State Applicants)
Upon receipt of the completed Certication and Authorization form, the Board will forward to you one
state and one federal ngerprint card. Out-of-state applicants must have their ngerprints recorded, on
the cards provided, by their local police department, by their state police department or by their local law
enforcement agency. You must return the ngerprint cards to the Board or Committee with the required
fee. Applicants submitting ngerprint cards will be required to pay a $58.69 fee to have their ngerprints
scanned into the electronic system by MorphoTrust. The $58.69 should be in the form of a check or money
order made payable to MorphoTrust.
If you fail to complete and return the Certication and Authorization form, your application for licensure or
certication will not be processed and your application will be considered abandoned.

7. Medical Conditions Questions
Questions a through f pertain to medical conditions and use of chemical substances. Please read the denitions carefully. Your
responses will be treated condentially and retained separately. Please be aware that you have the right to elect not to answer those
portions of the following questions which inquire as to the illegal use of controlled dangerous substances or activity if you have
reasonable cause to believe that answering may expose you to the possibility of criminal prosecution. In that event, you may assert
the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Any claim of Fifth Amendment privilege must be made in good faith. If
you choose to assert the Fifth Amendment, you must do so in writing. You must fully respond to all other questions on the applica
tion.
Your application for licensure or certication will be processed if you claim the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.
You should be aware, however, that you may later be directed by the Attorney General to answer a question that you have refused
to answer on the basis of the Fifth Amendment, provided that the Attorney General rst grants you immunity afforded by statutory
law. (N.J.S.A. 45:1-20.)
For the purposes of these questions, the following phrases or words have the following meanings:
“Ability to practice as a registered professional nurse or a licensed practical nurse” is to be construed to include all of the
following:
a. The cognitive capacity to exercise the reasonable judgments of a registered professional nurse or a licensed
practical nurse, and to learn and keep abreast of professional developments; and
b. The ability to communicate those judgments and related information to patients and other interested parties, with or without the
use of aids or devices, such as voice ampliers; and
c. The physical capability to perform the duties of a registered professional nurse or a licensed practical nurse,
with or without the use of aids or devices, such as corrective lenses or hearing aids.
“Medical Condition” includes physiological, mental or psychological conditions or disorders, such as, but not limited to orthope
dic,
visual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease,
dia
betes, mental retardation, emotional or mental illness, specic learning disabilities, H.I.V. disease, tuberculosis, drug addiction
and alcoholism.
“Chemical substance” is to be construed to include alcohol, drugs or medications, including those taken pursuant to a valid
pre
scription for legitimate medical purposes and in accordance with the prescribers direction, as well as those used illegally.
“Currently” does not mean on the day of, or even in the weeks or months preceding the completion of this application. Rather, it
means recently enough so that the use of drugs may have an ongoing impact on one’s functioning as a licensee, or within the previous
two years.
“Illegal use of controlled dangerous substance” means the use of a controlled dangerous substance obtained illegally (e.g.
heroin or cocaine) as well as the use of controlled dangerous substances which are not obtained pursuant to a valid prescription or
not taken in accordance with the directions of a licensed health care practitioner.
a.
Do you have a medical condition which in any way impairs or limits your ability to practice your profession with reasonable
skill and safety? Yes No
b. Are the limitations or impairments caused by your medical condition reduced or ameliorated because you receive ongoing
treatment (with or without medications) or participate in a monitoring program**?
Yes No Not applicable
c. Are the limitations or impairments caused by your medical condition reduced or ameliorated because of the eld of practice,
the setting or manner in which you have chosen to practice? Yes No Not applicable
d. Does your use of chemical substance(s) in any way impair or limit your ability to practice your profession with reasonable skill
and safety? Yes No Not applicable
e. Have you ever been diagnosed as having or have you ever been treated for pedophilia, exhibitionism or voyeurism?
Yes No
f. Are you currently engaged in the illegal use of controlled dangerous substances? (Recall that “currently” is dened as “within
the last two years.”) Yes No
If you answered “Yes” to question f, are you currently participating in a supervised rehabilitation program or professional
assistance program which monitors you in order to assure that you are not engaging in the illegal use of controlled dangerous
substances? Yes No
** If you receive such ongoing treatment or participate in such a monitoring program, the Board will make an individualized
assessment of the nature, the severity and the duration of the risks associated with an ongoing medical condition so as to determine
whether an unrestricted license or certicate should be issued, whether conditions should be imposed or whether you are not
eligible for licensure or certication.
