Interview Follow-up

22 Posts

Hello All!

I am a new RN graduate bachelor's degree nurse (May 2014) and I am still looking for my first RN job. I interviewed for an RN position at a healthcare community site two weeks ago with someone from the HR/Admin. team of the facility of the job I applied for. I was called in for a second interview which took place last Thursday (12/11/14). After spending an hour being interviewed by the Nurse Practitioner who the other RNs report to and another Nurse Practitioner that works there, I was told that I would be meeting with the OB team (the department with the RN opening) after I was given a tour of the facility that same day. The OB team was in a meeting at the time so I was told that I would be contacted at a later time to see when I would be available to come in to meet them before a decision was made in regards to hiring me for the position. Right before I left, the Nurse Practitioner (the person who makes the decisions to hire RNs) explained to me that the input from the OB team would determine if she would hire me after I've met with them. She also told me, as she was walking me out, that she would like for me to email her an interest letter stating my interest for the RN position (no fewer than three sentences...no more than 6 sentences) and to attach my resume to the email so that she could forward everything to the OB team to review. She said she would be able to set up a time for me to come back in once everything had been emailed over. Well...as soon as I got home from meeting with her, I emailed her both the interest letter and my resume as requested and left her a voicemail message indicating that I've done so and to contact me back (phone call or email) to let me know that she received it. It is now Monday, 12/15/14, and I still have not heard back from her. I really thought I did a good job on the second interview but because I haven't been contacted yet, I'm getting the impression as if perhaps after all of that, she might have changed her mind. Does anyone have any advice for me on how I can proceed from here, when I should contact her (or the other Nurse Practitioner) back, or should I just give it more time before reaching out to her?

Thanks,
