Confused New Grad.

[Berkley, RN BSN]

Hi y'all,

I'm a brand new baby nurse and I recently had my first interview on a med/surg unit.

I feel as though the interview went well, and the NM called me the morning my license number was posted (she saw if before I did!) and asked me to come in and fill out some paper work. Well, I go in and she has me fill out background check paperwork and then proceeds to ask me which shift I would prefer to work and told me HR would call me in about a week to offer me the position. Well, here's where I'm confused, and slightly worried... I was looking on a job board and saw the exact position I applied for posted this morning. I am now worried that I'm not getting hired. Would it be okay if I were to call the NM and just "check" on the status of my background check(it's clean, I know). Or, am I over reacting a little bit.

A lot of times they have to post the job on the website per policy, but if you already filled it then you are probably okay!

Most places have a policy about jobs being posted for a certain length of time, especially if there is a union. I wouldn't worry about it.

Thank y'all! I guess I just have a case of new grad jitters, haha.
