Awesome to see all the acceptances nationwide! I also was selected to interview for the Colton location. Been studying a lot of CCRN material as I see people who have interviewed in person have been mentioning they have had clinical heavy interviews (wish I was one of the fortunate ones to get a telephone/Skype interview haha!). Any individuals have their interview for the Colton site yet? How was your interview?

Also patiently (and nervously) waiting for decisions from them í ½í¸¥

I recently worked on a group project for our ICU to make staff aware of real life bully situations in the workplace. We found great resources on the AACN website to address cases like these. The best way to handle this situation is to pull the physician aside where you can address your concerns to him. If you are unable to speak with him one on one, then escalate it to your nursing leaders as appropriate. Bottom line, no one should have to deal with bullying at the workplace. Best of luck! Here is the link of the resources we used from the AACN website. Bullying in the Workplace: It Harms More Than the Bullied - AACN

I'm also curious on how many are being interviewed for this third round. I just got an email inviting me back and I'm curious what are the chances of getting accepted to the program.

I passed!!! I just saw my name on the BRN website! Thank you lord!

So my curiosity and anxiety was killing me today and I decided to try the trick.... I'm getting the good pop up! I can't believe it! Now I just have to wait for CA BRN to hurry up! This definitely makes my weekend!

Losomeyo. It is DEFINITELY frustrating and I feel for you! I was bugging the BRN at least 3/4 a week on my eligibility status haha. I got my new ATT a week ago and immediately schedule to take my test the following week since I had studied the entire time I waited for my new ATT. I retook the nclex today, which felt 100 times better than my first time around!

Pdanne01, Im in CA and no they don't participate in quick results and not wanting to ruin my mood with trying the new pvt if it's not 100% so for now just enjoying not having to study for that awful test!

Congrats! I retook my NCLEX-RN today too after failing the first time with 265 questions. This time It shut off at 85. A lot of SATA and prioritizing. Now the wait to hopefully see my name on the BON is going to kill me!

Hello. I had to retake NCLEX in CA too. Since the day the BRN received my reapp (I sent it priority mail with confirmation so I knew what day they got it) it took them 5 weeks to cash my check then another 2 weeks to get my new ATT. So you're looking at roughly 7-8 weeks. I would just start studying again so you're ready to test as soon as you get your new ATT.

Hello all! So overall my interview went well! And of course the first question I was asked in my interview was the honesty question! Luckily I remembered of a patient situation that helped me answer that question. Unfortunately, I wasn't offered a position at this time since I don't have my license yet but it seemed like the director liked me and said to let him know once I have my license and he would see what is available on his unit. So there is some hope! I have another interview coming up for a new grad program so this first interview was good practice! Thanks for all your advice!

I had to reapply in CA too, but because I didn't pass the first time. The BRN received my application July 23, and my check was cashed August 25 and my reapplication showed up on my breeze account that day. Still no new ATT to this day. So roughly looking at 4-5 weeks until they cash your check! CA BRN needs some major improvements!

Congrats to him! I'm also someone in the same situation. I went in for my first time in July and when my computer kept going past 75 questions I immediately felt doomed. Then it kept going and going until I got all 265. I knew when I walked out I had failed. I, like your husband, let my nerves get the best of me the first time. I too was anxious/depressed/embarrassed/and every other emotion that had to do with failure after taking the test. I went through the whole DABDA of grief (lol) and through the help of family, friends, my therapist, and prayer, I finally got the courage to get back to studying and ready to tackle it a second time soon! I have religiously lived on here looking for encouraging stories of repeat test takers and their successes and I definitely feel more at ease knowing I'm not the only one in the same situation. I have an interview on my dream unit coming up too and am determined to defeat the test this time around! So cool he finally gets to start his career and sending my congrats to him once again!

RN403. Ya that first one is killing me! I can't think of a time where someone confronted me about my honesty. Hopefully I don't get asked that one. I am a new grad so this would be my first RN position. But thank you on the advice! I think I'm more nervous because it's the unit where I have dreamed of working on throughout school and now that I got an opportunity to interview with them, I don't want to mess it up! Thanks again for the insight!

Hello AN. I have an interview for a MICU RN position coming up this week (this is my dream job!). Needless to say I am nervous since 1) this is going to be my first professional interview and 2) the last time I actually sat for an interview was over 6 years ago! Fortunately I know someone that works on this unit and was able to give me some sample questions to expect (interview is behavioral and a panel). There are two questions that for some reason, have a difficult time finding an appropriate answer to. 1) Tell me about a time your honesty was questioned. 2) Tell me about your weaknesses. Any insight on how to approach such questions? Thanks in advance!
