Good luck with it. Does sound excessive with that many people but not surprised. With everything at stake these days people are getting very very picky as to who they put in positions of authority, that is a good thing.

I think the nurse manager position is probably one of the most important as far as leadership goes.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. My interviews on Tuesday are over a 5.5 hour span. I figured I would hang out in the cafeteria in between. Good way to listen to what people are saying about the hospital and I know people who work there as well so I might run into them. I have heard some horrible things from travelers who have been there as well as from the people I interviewed with about the travelers.

Love a nurse thanks for wishing me well. I got a call from the hospital today that one of the candidates just dropped out so it is just between myself and another nurse. That sure narrows it down.

I wish you all the luck in the world. It sounds as if you have what it takes to be the head nurse of the floor, especially because you have oncology experience. Out of curiosity, what is it that you like about being a head nurse/nurse manager? Most managers I meet wish to get back into hands on nursing (or so they say).

I love to help make work a decent, fair and as enjoyable place to be as it can be. I have had some doosie managers and then I had two really great ones. I learned alot of what to do and what not to do by being on both sides of the story. I think the most people I have managed is 150 and their staff is much smaller than that. They need some serious help. I love clean up too. I also like to mentor people to watch them grow.

Sorry I was so long winded, LOL,

Thanks lovely for asking,

Sending good wishes and prayers your way! The 5.5 interview span sounds nerve wracking, but I am sure you will do fine!

Good luck!

Today is the day! Hope the last interview went well. I have been keeping my fingers crossed for you. I wish you could be my head nurse, you sound like you have what it takes.
