Anon - According to the manufacturer's website, NuvaRing is effective when it is inserted. The company states:

NuvaRing® contains 2 types of hormones: estrogen and progestin, which work together to prevent your ovaries from producing mature eggs. These are the same hormones found in the Pill, and they work the same way in your body even though they are administered differently with NuvaRing®. With NuvaRing®, hormone release is activated once the ring comes into contact with your vagina. The hormones are then absorbed and distributed into your bloodstream. When used as directed, NuvaRing® works as well as the Pill—it is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.
