    JustBeachyNurse replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Transcripts are not likely the reason for the hold as the BoN has nothing to do with results on hold. Most common are palm vein scan issues and standing rather than raising hand. Or a system issue...

    There are both false positives and false negatives. Anything any one says regarding this magic 8 ball registration glitch is "100% accurate" either way is speaking only from anecdotal

    EVERYBODY goes to the credit card page since the site update in August 2014. It's still not 100% accurate more than anecdotal as several have been charged but passed and others were not charged but...
