First LPN interview...

So, I've been applying everywhere within a 50 mile range & noticed most, if not all, require the "1 year experience." I finally got lucky & had my first LPN interview as a new grad 2 days ago for a LTC facility. The first 30 minutes of the interview went really well & then, the DON started asking me situational type of stuff that I couldn't answer due to the fact that I was kind of nervous & also because I am still a new grad! I did the best I could and tried to answer the questions. Even when I got stuck, she tried to hint out the right answers.

In the end, she explained more about orientation for new grads and more about the facility procedures. She asked if I had any questions & I made sure to ask good questions like, "What is the patient to nurse ratio?" She also made copies of my driver's license, my nursing license & my BCLS card. She told me to stop by again & hand in 2 references, make a copy of my Social Security card, and hand in a recent physical. I thought these were all good signs until she said she had 2 more interviews to go through & that I was the 2nd out of the 4 interviews she had that day. She explained that if they were interested, they would be giving me a call.

I turned in all the remaining stuff she needed the next day with a thank you letter.

I guess my question is, "Is this considered a bad interview?" :confused:

ps: My interview lasted 50 minutes (As a new grad, the length of the interview freaked me out :eek::uhoh3::eek:). Not sure if the long length was due to her explaining more about the facility or me getting stuck on certain questions.

I don't think they would have asked for references, if they were not considering you. Also, requesting your recent physical. I think that it sounds good:)
