I applied for a GN position with the hospital that I REALLY want to work for. The position was listed as "Graduate Nurse, Weekday" and it's a general opening that they will be hiring about 25-30 people to fill or so. I waited like a week and a half and called them, spoke to the nursing recruiter (who was very nice) to follow up. She said that they were still taking applications and she's waiting for the actual position assignments to be given to her before she starts scheduling interviews, it will probably be in February sometime. That was January 16th. I see on the website that they took the position down, so no one else can apply for it at this point. They took it down last week, I believe. It's listed as "open" still on the "My applications" tab so I know they didn't fill them yet. How long should I wait to call again? I really want this job and I know there is probably going to be a lot of competition to get it. I put together a fantastic cover letter and resume that I attached with the application so I'm hoping that I get noticed. I'm so nervous because I never know what to say when I call so I don't want them to think I'm an idiot, lol.
