Since you are probably in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, most of the healthcare facilities in the area are not going to call you back for interviews until you have your license. I wouldn't start applying for jobs until you have passed NCLEX.

Was just having the same discussion with my husband tonight. I am less than 3 months from graduation in Orlando.

I think I remember people posting in the past about applying and being offered a job pending passing boards.

Any input would be much appreciated!!

Talk to your teachers about it. I did at my school and they said that a majority of the classes has job offers pending passing exams. Because of this, I'm not so worried about getting a job when I get to that point. Maybe your teachers know something that you don't! =)
