Interview Question

Nurses General Nursing

Published

hello nurses,

i went on an interview on thursday, sent a thank you note to the nurse manager and the recruiter the same day. i haven't heard anything back from both of them and now i'm starting to worry.

my question is how long should i wait before i call the recruiter or email the nurse manager ( i only have her email address) and what do i say without coming off as desperate or pusher.

This may depend on what they told you. How soon are they expecting to make a decision? If that was not discussed, then you have a perfect intro - ask the recruiter when a decision will be made and if you are still being considered. That is a fair question.

Thank you for interviewing me on (day of week / date. I enjoyed meeting you and also learned a great deal about how the hospital "works". I truly appreciate all the time and care you took in telling me about the job and learning more about me.

I really think that you should address any questions to the recruiter, it might seem desperate to call the director. The recruiter is making the big bucks so let her/him do the work.
