So it's been two weeks since my first new graduate interview at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. I thought the interview went okay. I answered the questions to the best of my ability and they seemed pleased with my answers because they were nodding their heads at everything I said and writing things down when I answered. It was a panel interview when it was over only one of them gave me their card and said to call if I had any questions. I sent a thank you email a few hours after the interview to the one guy because he was the only one who gave me his card. As of today its been 15 days and I have not heard anything. They said they would be making a decision within a week. Do you think they are not considering me? I want to follow up but I'm not sure if I should contact the HR manager who contacted me for the interview or my preceptor who put in a good word for me?
-Also I told them I was interested in the ICU and that ICU position is still posted on the job board. Is that not a good sign?
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Everyone's input is greatly appreciated.
I appreciate the responses. I applied at UH and got a rejection email. I also applied to two more positions at the Cleveland Clinic. Hopefully that didn't hurt my chances getting the position I interviewed for. If it did, then lesson learned. I'll still keep you all posted on what happens.
UPDATE: Well I just checked the status of my application and I did not get the job. I'm not surprised, I had a feeling I didn't because it was taking so long and no response from HR or preceptor. This really sucks. I feel like I've applied so many places and the ONE call for an interview I get, I blow it. I just feel like giving up. All the schooling, effort, and money I put into this seems like its for nothing.

Three weeks is nothing to HR. They don't "just tell you" because they ARE HR.
Of course you need to keep looking, but realize that HR answers in their own sweet time.
