Re: Help with first med/surg interview
Well,
thanks for all the best wishes. It seems for some reason my application wasn't as good as the four others in my class that applied for the position. I was the only one who didn't get a call back. I didn't even get a chance to interview. She told me when she spoke to me on the phone she would call back to set up the interview and lo and behold, everyone else got the phone call, just not me.
I'm slinking back into the lurker zone for a while and am going to lick my wounds and come to terms that the only place i'm going is LTC, and a 20 to 30 : 1 ratio. All my dreams rested on getting into acute care, since everything else out there requires 1 yr experience on that type of floor. Hopefully, my RN school application won't meet the same fate.
Going to have to have a drink now, makes licking the wounds much tastier.

okay, I spoke way to soon. I called the nurse manager, and professionally asked to confirm that she had received my resume. I got a call back three days later, and just had my interview. I feel good about it, I did my best, answered the questions to the best of my ability and chatted with her for almost one and a half hour. If I don't get the position, its okay. I just wanted a chance to place my self out there for consideration. She did mention that it was a tough choice between all of us, but the people that didn't get the position, her friends (other floor nurse managers)have been asking for our resumes. It's no longer in my hands. Keep your fingers crossed, but I'm okay.
