RN.BSN

After the second round of interviews, has anyone seen a change in their application status such as the message described above to those who did not pass round 1?

I interviewed last week. Three out of the 5 interviewed in my interview logged on to the application and saw the message, "Not hired." The two of us that didnt get that message still has the message saying "application forwarded to manager." I think we should hear by thursday or friday at the latest if you are invited back for a second interview. They were secretive about how that second interview format will go. Anyone know why its a secret?

Why did you decline? Do you know the format of the second interview?

Look what I found on the Sutter RN Strong site. They state that they consider you only if you are in the greater Sacramento and foothill area! I hope this is not true because I interviewed in January and was not chosen. A new set of RN Strong jobs opened and I have been called for a med/surge interview. I hope it is not an oversight on their part that they did not notice that the school I went to is not in Sacramento. I went to Samuel Merritt University but at the San Mateo location. There is a SMU in Sacramento but I did not attend that one. But I hope it's not an oversight because I clearly state on my resume where I went to school and where I did my clinicals. I am hoping I get this offer for med/surge. The first interview was for the CVIU, which I knew nothing about and had not clinical or preceptorship time dealing strictly with cardio. That may be a reason why I wasn't chosen because one of the panel members told me I did very well answering questions. I do live in Sacramento though, so I am not sure if that is leading to confusion but I hope they aren't wasting my time and didn't realize I didnt go to school in Sacramento and figure it out during the interview and then disqualify me. Has anyone inquired about this with RN Strong? If I do not get offered the Med/Surge job I will ask them if they are only considering those who went to school in Sacramento and foothill area.

Anyone get a call yet?

As of now all of the interviews should be done. I am worrying and freaking out non-stop. I have signed into my application to check the status but it still says "Application in Review." I was hoping that they would make their decisions today and chabge our application status since Carrol said she will be starting to call at 0700 if you got the job. I won't be sleeping until after 0700, probably wont sleep all day. Anyone else have a status change? Please post here when you find out the results tomorrow. Thanks. My top 3 picks were as follows: 1. Intermediate ICU, 2. Med/Surge, 3. Cardiovascular ICU. What did you guys select? Do you think that we are limited to getting hired in one of the3 we chose even if we are willing to work in a different area, such as oncology? It would be nice to know which departments had however many openings. It would also be nice if we knew what everyone else selected at their top 3.

I got the call for an interview on December 24th. No one else in my class got called and many got turned down immediately after the personality test. The calls have been made already and they will hold interviews at the end of January 2015. Anyone else on here get an interview?

RunnerRN2b2014- I would say "trust it". I went through the skeptical stage hahaha. Check 24 hours after test time and you are safe. I'm in such shock that I think "I don't beleive it. Not until I see it in the mail. What if there is some mistake at the BRN?" you passed. Congrats!

Upadate: I passed!!

That would be great. Please update us so we know! I tested on the 5th and got my results at 0500 this morning. I tested in Sacramento, California. What state are you in?

I do believe the "trick" works. I passed!!

Thanks! Update: I PASSED!!!!!! It's posted. Less than 48 hours.

hi. The interim permit allows you to work under the direct supervision of an RN for 6 months before taking the nclex. However, if you take the nclex (pass or fail) your interim permit is no longer valid. You apply for the interim permit at the time you send in your application in. No biggie. You don't need an interim permit. If you had one you would know about it because you pay $50 for it. Update: I PASSED!!!!!

This waiting game for NCLEX results is horrible! Why can they not give us our grades right now? Why must we wait? Does they want to know how bad we want it and check how many times we checked the BRN in one hour or how many times we try to submit a payment to reregister on Pearson Vue just so we can make sure we keep getting the good pop up!? I think I've done each of those over 40 times today and I still don't know if I passed or not. I got the good pop up. My interim permit went from active to "canceled" and my initial RN exam is still pending/open. Now I'm just checking the board of registered nursing for my name pop up with the title RN next to it with your license number. Until then I cannot rest, I cannot sleep, I cannot eat, I cannot think.

Thank you. For some reason I just believe you. Thank you so much.
