head nurse interview

I wanted to see what you all thought of this. I have had three interviews already for this position. I have two more interviews on Tuesday with another 30 people. Then I have another one with the docs. I think interviewing with almost 50 people by the time I am done is excessive. Has anyone ever seen a person have to jump hoops like that?????

Thanks for replying Jnette. It is a hem/onc unit at an inner city hospital in Columbus. They do not do BMTs. Historically I guess the staff have been through you know what and they are being very picky about who they hire. There are three candidates. Two have head nurse experience, BS prepared and no oncology experience. I have 6 years oncology experience and BMT experience which I was told no staff there have BMT experience so that is a boon for me plus I got my MS which is good. They have said they are very impressed with me but hey you know that could be lip service LOL.

Wish me luck and I will stop back after the interviews and let you know how it goes.

I think the most staff I have even managed was 150 or so.

GOOD LUCK! (and yes, that does seem like a lot of hoop-jumping to get a position; you must want this badly). Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks Jnette and blue eyes. I do want it bad. I really love my current job but my company is looking at leaving Ohio due to the recently dropped Medicaid reimbursement rates so that is why I am looking as they recently did leave another state and the employee got a call that day telling her she was out of a job. I really do want the job. I love helping make a nice place to work for people as well as getting back in touch with nursing care.

You have grit, girl. I would be a wreck after that many interviews. I wish you luck, but it does sound as if you will get this job if the interviews go well.
