Got the Dreaded "On Hold" Popup...

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Just got home from my NCLEX-RN. I got 75 questions and was done in about an hour. I had only about 15 SATA, 1 ECG, 1 math, 1 picture, and 2 drag and drops. I feel like I failed for some reason. If I remember back 2.5 years when I took my NCLEX-PN, I got 85 questions and felt like I failed too when in all reality I passed. I got the dreaded 'on hold' pop-up and was wondering how long holds are usually in place? I'm sure it totally depends but wondering if those who have got the 'on hold' popup could let me know how long they had to wait. Not sure why I got the 'on hold' popup but I did have to use the restroom at question 50 and had a little trouble with the palm scanner because my hand was still wet from washing. Any insight here? I'm trying to stay positive and calm but it is a seemingly impossible task. :arghh:

Update: called Pearson Vue and they said that they don't count the test day as a business day (Wednesday) so I will have to wait until Monday to receive my results. Ugh, is this normal? It seems like everyone on here gets their results within 48 hours regardless of holiday, etc.? Do you think I should call again and try to speak to someone else?

Wait. It. Out. :yes:

Find something relaxing to do....shopping therapy, ice cream therapy, meditate, something else until you see your results. :)

Isn't it funny how unseen people on the internet were more certain of your passing status than you were? ;)
