I blew my interview!

Yeah, I just had an interview for an ICU fellowship, which is optimal since I want to be a CRNA. I currently work in a hospital as a CNA in ICU/PCU, and have done so for two years. This potential employer was supposed to meet me at our job fair, but unfortunately, our program did not advertise this facility well, and I missed out. I finally called, but missed the open interviews by about two days. I emailed the nurse recruiter on a Fri afternoon, and she called within about two minutes! We set the interview up, and unfortunately, I had only three days to prepare officially. And of course, I had other stuff going on such as work, an upcoming exam, and clinicals. I actually ended up arriving late for the interview d/t clinical obligations. Once I got there, I totally did not represent my true abilities, I froze. I would not hire me! Is there any hope for me? I think my resume and experience and grades are above average, but i KNOW the interview went sub-par. What should I do? Should I call/write/email the ccu supervisor and make excuses? Or just thank them? Or just wait? Thanks!

I would reply with a thank you note as if you had done your best. Under no circumstances rehash the interview bringing attention to your shortcomings. If at all possible, pick one positive and mention it in your thank you letter. You never know, you might be pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, look on it as a valuable lesson in interviews. The only way you get good at interviews is more and more practice.
