Interview - how long before follow-up call?

I had one interview on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. The one on Tuesday is in a great unit at my current hospital - that's three hours from my house. The Wednesday interview was also for a great hospital - 20 minutes away.

I've already heard back on the spot at my current hospital - I was offered the position. The hospital where I interviewed on Wednesday said they would be deciding on Thursday. I haven't heard anything, so I'm assuming I didn't get it. At what point is it appropriate to call to follow up, just so I can confirm and move on?

Ahh, I hate when they don't call after an interview as promised. I think it would be completely appropriate for you to call and followup at this point. Thursday has passed and you were told they would have a decision by then. Perhaps you'll be told they decided to go in another direction or, who knows, perhaps they are taking a little longer than expected to make a decision. Either way, I think they will think more of you for professionally following up with them. It shows that this is a job you really want.

Just my two-cents. Best of luck! : )
