Once the letters are received, does anyone know when during the month the interviews would be held? I'm assuming it's going to be the end of September, but I'm not sure. I hope we all get one.

I really liked your example. I guess compassion can come in different ways. Thanks for sharing.

That makes sense... I guess I would hate that too if someone were to act like that around me.

Ah, I see. Well I guess that is good they can reject them if they do not want it. For some reason, I thought nurses somehow had to be persuasive if a patient really needed something that would benefit him/her. Wow, I still have a lot to learn about nursing!

Sorry for the confusion everyone. I guess it's basically how dudette10 put it: "If another person is going through something that calls for compassion--but they "reject" the compassion--it's most likely the delivery of it that is being rejected." I was just curious to know if anyone had to deal with this kind of thing as a nurse. For example, say you were giving a patient something that would really help him/her, but that patient rejects the kindness and refuses. And no, it is not a homework question...

Thanks guys :)

Ok, thanks! The end of the month needs to hurry up and get here already. I hope we both get interviews :)

Oh okay, that makes sense. I never really understood the question even after researching it lol. Nice example by the way :)

If so, how did you handle the situation?

Based on some you guys' answers, what would be the difference between these two questions: 1.) Why should we pick you and 2.) Tell me about yourself

Wow, that is pretty harsh.

Nice answer. I'm glad that it worked :)

Good answer. So I guess I am making this more complicated than it is. I hope I come up with a good answer as well. Thanks!

I never knew that nursing schools have such different grading scales. Based on what you said, I guess that there really isn't such thing as an RN=C.

Great tips. I will keep those in mind :)
