Re: My 1st NICU interview!!!!
So this interviewing/hiring process is taking forever and it is driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!! I've interviewed at 2 hospitals and no word yet. The 1st one I interviewed at which is where I want to work is taking a long time. I interviewed in April and did my shadowing in May (about 3 weeks ago). I called the nurse mgr at the beginning of the week and she told me HR is taking over now, telling me they are still probably checking references and that I probably would hear something by the end of this week maybe. She told me to call the HR woman to see what was going on, so I left a voicemail and emailed but no response yet!!! I am thinking positively and hoping I will get an offer since I've interviewed, shadowed and now they are checking references....they've spent a lot of time with me but I don't know!
The 2nd hospital I interviewed at said I wont hear anything till mid-june but it doesn't look promising because she is looking to hire for start dates this summer. I dont graduate until end of August so I might not have a chance. It's a really small unit and I'm not that crazy about it. No biggie cuz I want a job at the 1st hospital anyways.
Now, I have another interview next week at a hospital 3-4 hours away in southern Ohio. It's a good hospital from what I've read with a large NICU but it is far away from home. I wouldn't mind moving there. It would be nice to move to a new city. But I think I would really prefer to stay closer to home for now. But i'm at the point now that I will take whatever job offer I get! I want to work in the NICU no matter what!!
Sorry for venting! I just had to get out my frustrations!!
