Can I apply before I pass the NCLEX?

Yes, at most hospitals: residencies hire new graduates before they are licensed, and a posting marked "GN" or "Graduate Nurse" takes nurses who have graduated but not yet passed the NCLEX. You need an active RN license in the job's state by the date the posting states.
