Today's interview

Specialties Geriatric

Published

First, this is not to bash on LPNs as interviewers or leaders.

I have a question re an interview I had today. I was interviewed by a LPN who has no direct mgmt of nurses or any of their responsabilities. I've never been interviewed by a LPN before. From what I could gather, she was the educator and had a few other jobs at the LTC. The interview only lasted 20 mins and I asked most of the questions. She didn't mention any follow up interview. I didn't realize she was an LPN until I went to write a thank you letter. Then I got to thinking, maybe this was just an interview she felt she had to do and already had someone in mind. Or maybe she thought I was not really all that interested wouldn't stay long (that is true). It was all just odd. Any thoughts?

When i interviewthey typically last 30-60 mintues including the tour. I don't ask the typical questions and have found out that having a casual talk I find out more about their personality and behavior.

During the tour, I introduce them to nurses and CNA's on the floors we go through to see how receptive they are to our employees. I also interact with residents and watch to see how they act during that.
