Have you tried node.run_state?

Its a Hash available on the node object that you can use.

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/node.rb#L72

Notifications and Subscriptions can change the order in which resources get 
executed. So please do keep that in mind.

See - "Chef’s dirty secret: Convergence is also Compilation"

Best,
Rajiv
