bad feeling about interview

Published

I had a interview and it lasted only 10 minutes. DON asked few questions about peg tube and asked me if I should reinsert the stomach content after asprating it and for a minute I hesitated becuase I wasnt sure then told her I've learned to reinsert the stomach content. It made me look incompetent. Then she didnt asked me if I had questions or anything but she said she have more interviews and she will call me if she feels like she is needed there. Is bad feeling a good indication that i'm not gonna be picked or should I just wait?

Don't dwell. In 2 days, call for a follow up and ask if you are in consideration, in the meantime go to every nursing job interview site your can to study q and a, then apply and apply to every healthcare corp. And you will gain experience/lessons with each app/interview;)

And don't forget to send out a cleanly typed, hand signed thank you letter asap. Mention that you have a definite interest in the position, and one or two reasons why you would be a good match (if you do indeed feel this way).

The thank you letter could be just the thing that separates you from the others being interviewed.

That's the one question the DNS asked? Dollars to donuts they got tagged on gtubes on their last survey. Don't sweat it. When you send a thank you , perhaps you could ask a few questions of your own. "I'd like to talk to you further about the position. What would be a good time for me to call?" That way, she knows you're interested in the job and prompts a response.
