Hi there! I have been studying for NCLEX for about 2-3 weeks now (taking it Tuesday!) using the Saunders question bank primarily and focusing on different areas of content with 100-200 questions a day. The thing I'm wondering about it what type of score on these quizzes is indicative of a passing rate on NCLEX? With HESI I know they said if you make an 850+ your chances are higher and with Kaplan I've heard that scoring 65% and up is good for passing potential. Anyone know about Saunders? Thank you so much!

I graduated nursing school a month ago in Arkansas w my RN diploma and relocated to Chicago four days after graduation with my boyfriend who is doing his medical residency at Cook County. I am taking NCLEX here (in Chicago) next Tuesday and praying for IL licensure after I pass (fingers crossed). I know the market for new grads in Chicago is VERY competitive and I want to be as flexible as possible to get hired so I can begin this awesome career and get some experience under my belt. I have looked into a few major hospitals and also a few smaller ones for open positions and applied for a handful (plan to do MANY more starting next week!). Wondered if any seasoned RNs have advice for me in general re: this process and if anyone can tell me what salary I should expect to aim to make (I'm sure its different from state to state/hospital to hospital). Thank you SO much for your time.
