was asked several behavioral questions which isn't too difficult if you are prepared. One RN from the behavioral unit was pretty rude, forgot his name but it was a dude in his 40s - 50s. for follow up questions I asked a valid question like what's the work culture like, he reads a whole paragraph from some paper including some safety issues like violence that we might encounter and then ask "well do you still want the job?" a week later I got a call saying I was rejected because of some "safety" issue like boundaries during the interview (all I said during the interview was that I will be mindful of patient-staff boundaries while emotionally caring for my patient) which I find it pretty bs considering all my responses were good but it's whatever because I don't want to work with rude people anyway and both interviews give off really bad vibes. one of them was even eating snacks while interviewing.
