9 days after an interview and no offer...

Last Monday, or nine days ago, I interviewed for what would be an awesome nursing position. The hours are great as they would be 8 hour day and evening shifts, meaning I wouldn't have to do nights or 12 hour shifts. The floor specialty is one that would coincide with my current position (not an RN). I have met all of the requirements for the job, as I have my Bachelor's degree and have already passed my boards. However, over a week has passed, and I haven't heard from them. I keep checking the website, and the job is still open, with my application still being in review. At the same time, I was told by the hiring manager I would hear from HR by Wednesday or Thursday of last week, and by the nursing placement coordinator "in about a week." Obviously, both deadlines have come and gone.

I keep looking at my phone, waiting for the call, but it remains silent. I keep holding out hope that maybe it really will happen, because I haven't officially heard "no" yet, either. I was hoping that I would be one of the lucky ones to land a job on my first interview, but the good news I am looking for seems to be refusing to come. I don't know...how long did you wait for your results and am I wasting my time holding onto a position that seems to want to be a no? I don't know what I'll do with myself or what direction I'll go in if it really is a no...
