So I applied for a job about a week ago through an online job app at a local hospital. Heard the very next day and set up a phone interview. Had the phone interview with a nursing recruiter last Friday. Although the original job I was interested in is not looking for FT and requires some experience that I do not have yet, she told of another position that I did state I was interested in. She stated that she would forward my app and resume on to the nursing manager of that unit. How long do I give it before I call or anything? Obviously I have no patience right now Just curious what the average time is that I should give it. Its been a bit since job hunting. TIA!

Haha! I found that out the hard way...they are not nurses or close to anything clinical like the above poster said. One once told me (as a gulible new grad back then) oh I have a job for you in an ICU, just be confident and agressive and they won't know you are a new grad!! ...and get this I almost belived her, almost lost my lisence!! I know now and everyone knows that you can't fake not knowing something as a nurse....can't fake nursing!!
