I have been preparing for the NCLEX basically 12 hours a day for two weeks. I had a job interview last week and this week! Last week I made it early and got a job offer in my inbox by the time I drove home. This week I got my dates mixed up!!!!
I thought my interview was TODAY but it was YESTERDAY!!!
I had contacted nursing recruitment via email last night (it was too late to call) and I called this morning, but nursing recruitment has it set up so that the receptionist is a recording and you have to push some buttons and then leave a voice-mail. No option of getting in contact with a recruiter personally.
I can't leave a voicemail discussing my problem not knowing who will listen to it, so I gave my name and number and expressed the need to speak to the specific recruiter I had previously been in contact with. In the email I sent to the nurse recruiter I did apologize and tell them how I was completely devastated and I had just been at a loss of time preparing for my NCLEX and wanted to reschedule.
So far, no contact. But it usually took a few days in the past. But this is dire! I cannot believe I have done such a thing! I even went for a trial run to the hospital yesterday, its over an hour away, I was right there!! And in my mind I thought the interview was today!! This is so out of my character. I had pressed my outfit, gathered all my information, and wanted to double check on the email that I had everything they requested.. and there it was.. "June 24, 2008". My jaw dropped.
This is a very elite hospital, with a great psychiatric program for new grads (the position I was interviewing for). Which leads me to believe it is very competitive. It is my dream to learn in grow in the facility, they have the best orientation program (lasting a year including classroom instruction).
Is there any chance I didn't just blow this opportunity?
