After the interview....

[Nurse Gonzo, BSN, RN]

Hello all!

I recently had an interview for my dream position and I'm kind of wondering what to do next. I applied for the position a little over two months ago and had the interview a little over one month ago. I feel that the interview went really well- I even got a tour of the unit and got a chance to talk to multiple nurses and other staff on the unit. I received a reference request a few days later and completed that within the week. I really want this position and I'm praying this is where God wants me. Before leaving, the CNS told me to be patient because apparently HR is really backed up. This particular unit just hired a new grad who thought she had lost out on the job because of how long the job offer took. In another area of AllNurses, I saw that this hospital is known for taking a long time with job offers- even up to 6 months! I'm trying to be patient but I'm going a little crazy to be honest! Should I call HR to check on the status of my application? If so, what should I say? I need help!! I have two years of experience and I'm venturing into a new specialty that means a lot to me, so I would really appreciate any advice you guys have to give.

Thank you!

If anyone looks in and wonders the results, here is what happened: I did not call to check on my status, however the day after I posted this, I received my rejection email. It was not the position God had planned for me, so on to the next!
