Has anyone ever had a phone interview before??

I had one today and it was one of those interviews that had nothing to do with nursing, but more about work ethic and how you handle yourself as an employee. It was 37 minutes long, and I'm really nervous about it. It's going to give the employer an idea if she will hire me or not. I already had a floor interview yesterday and this was the last thing I had to do to see if I get the job or not. The interview was recorded and everything! She told me the facility that I was trying to become employed at will contact me within 24-48 hours!! An example question this lady asked me was "How do you handle yourself under pressure?" another, "Are you and introvert or an extrovert?" and instantly followed with a "why?" Another one was "How long do you plan on staying at the facility if hired?" I just had so much explaining to do that I was practically winded after the phone call! I'm so nervous right now about getting this job, it's the one job I want and absolutley would love to have. Anyone know what I'm talking about??

Ahhhh

Please help, I'm going crazy over this wait Can someone please cheer me up, I'm so anxious I think my B/P is sky high!! I answered all the questions very honestly, and I think I am a really good employee in a general manner and potentially a great nurse.

Ugh, I hate those kind of interviews! I have had a couple of phone interviews and I hated them! With the first one I was offered an in person interview on the same phone call. On the second one I had to wait a couple weeks and I was certain that I bombed the phone interview. I ended up getting and in person interview the nurse manager and got the job! You'll do fine and go find something to take your mind off of it for a while.
