Ran out of time on the NCLEX-RN. "Results on hold" ?

[firefly101]

Hey everyone, so I took the NCLEX yesterday and ran out of time at about 213 questions. I did PVT after my test status read "delivery successful" and the "results are on hold" message popped up. Been trying to think of any reason why this is so... I didn't write much on my white board, I DID look at the clock pretty often because I was taking so long, got up to take breaks several times but only after raising my hand...phone was left in my car... took a walk to get a snack at one point but only after receiving permission to do so... I did have problems with the palm scanner (had to re-do it multiple times) and my computer glitched once...

Has this happened to anyone else? What were the reasons that your results were on hold? How long did it take for you to receive your results? Did you pass or fail? I'm assuming this is no indication of either result... I know the "last 60 rule" .... feeling like I failed since I was so exhausted by that point

No indication of pass/fail. But palm scan is the likely culprit. Usually 48-72 hours before hold is lifted

If after 48 hours I still don't have my quick results avail, could I call my board of nursing and inquire about this? You are probably right about the palm scanner but I am very curious...

No. You call Pearson Vue for an update on your hold status. If results on hold nothing is released to the BoN.

the message changed! i'm nervous that it doesn't say "please contact your BON" like everyone else's seems to, but is this otherwise a good sign?

"our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. another registration cannot be made at this time"

From all the other posters, that's the good pop up!

Contacting your BON has apparently been removed from the message. Congrats!
