Nclex RN RESULTS ON HOLD???????

Published

I took my exam Oct 4 2014 (FL). I got up to 140 questions with my last question being a SATA. I am up to date on the recent PVT, so as I went to try it and I get the pop up saying my results are on hold?!!! the only thing I can think that was an issue is, that there was an issue with doing my hand scan/finger prints. I have been constantly checking and NOTHING has changed, I get the same pop up :(. has anyone else experienced this recently. I don't think I passed, I just want to know SOMETHING at least. this is torture!!!!!!!! Can anyone give me some insight? much appreciated!!

Your results being on hold are most likely because (as you already stated) there was an issue with your palm scan. Typically holds are lifted anywhere from 24-72 hours, once the issue is resolved.

This isn't torture. You will survive :)

Hang in there, and wait for official results. NO ONE can give you a clue one way or the other how you did; find something constructive to do to take your mind away from this for a bit and WAIT.

Then you'll know!

On Hold means exactly that. It could have been the palm scan, a lot of people go on hold for that. Something is telling the comuter that there is not sufficient information to score the test and they probably need a human (as opposed to the computer) to look into something.

On hold results have been both pass and fail so you cannot go by it at all, just keep checking, and check your state BON a couple of times a day online to see if you are listed. Some states update so fast that a license will show up even when the on hold status is still on PV, others take a lot of time, so don't freak out if it isn't there, but check because if it is, it will tell you that you passed.

You re register to take the exam, it will take you all the way to the cc screen. You will then input your cc info and hit submit. If you get the good pop up you passed, if the card goes through you failed

Or....not. Someone JUST posted (a new person, not repeating an older story) that a "good pop up" appeared, yet two days later....fail.

Official results count. Tricks do not. Let's be careful out there, okay? ;)

There have also been posts where the credit card was billed and they passed. If that happens, the $200 is not refundable. There are also reports if you use a bad credit card (or one that is maxed out) you get a declined notice whether you pass or fail....wait for REAL results!

ugh I've had that issue a few times before. It drove me nuts! After the 48 hours (sometimes more,) my quick results went up. Good luck hope you passed! If not, try not to stress too much and remember keep moving forward!
