Hello. A little over a week ago I had my 1st interview (since graduating in Dec 2010),at a local hospital. I first met with HR who said, "You will hear from me in a week whether it's yay or nay." The day after my interview, 3 personal references called and said they had been contacted. Of course I sent a thank you email and note (to HR and the director of the unit). It's been slightly over a week, and I am debating when I should call and do a follow up. Should I call tomorrow or wait until next week? Do I call the director or the HR representative? What should I say when I call? Both the Dir. and HR rep gave me their cards, so I have direct numbers. I think I am freaking out so much because I have too much time on my hands, LoL! Does the hospital hiring process usually take a long time (between interview and offer)? GEEZ! It's been so long since I've been through this, I dont know how to act.
Next week I will be occupied most days (one including a 2nd interview with a job I really do not want. I need a job, and I will probably take it if offered, but there is NO PATIENT CARE involved and that's why I do not want it. I really have to start working and soon.) It has been 2 years since I have worked. 2 years ago I was a LPN, which at one point I believed would be beneficial to gaining a job - guess not.
