New Grad Residency

[Mochipotato]

I'm graduating in the first week of May, but I'm unsure when I can submit my NCLEX application. Most new grad residency programs I've seen so far start in May, and I'm concerned that I might not be able to take the NCLEX in time. Are there any new grad residency programs starting in the fall? I've heard that not having taken the NCLEX yet might make me less competitive, so I'm looking for advice on how to navigate this.
