I had an interview and they requested references.All references have been sent and I contacted HR.The lady told me that I am going to follow up with someone on Monday. But she did not say that I am accepted or not.I sent email to nurse manager but I did not get any response. I am kinda nervous. It feels like I didn't get this position. 1 Likes
NICU Guy, BSN, RN Specializes in NICU. Has 6 years experience. Jun 11, 2020 It is not a good sign or bad sign. They will contact the references for their top candidates and make a determination after they have contacted the references.8 minutes ago, dlee50 said:The lady told me that I am going to follow up with someone on Monday.More than likely you will hear something on Monday. It may be "All your references were good, we would like to offer you the position" or "Thank you for applying, but we are going with someone else" or "We have talked to all your references and the hiring manager will make their decision in the next week". 5 Likes

Sometimes it takes longer for your references to respond. You might want to give a heads-up to your references so that they’ll be on the lookout for unknown phone calls, emails that may have gone into a junk or spam folder, etc. Don't push the panic button just yet.😉 3 Likes

I thought that she would let me know if I am not hired so I can move on 😞 1 Likes

I have waited months to hear if I got the job.You have done everything that you can. You are now playing the waiting game.Best wishes. 4 Likes

There are lots of emails they have t send with high priority, are in multiple meetings a day, need to deal with employee needs, and other unit management as well as ensuring they are reaching benchmarks for their unit and hospital.I would give it a few days. 2 Likes

Was offered the position after the interview but didn't start on the job until Sept. 30th. At my previous job I was working w/in 3 weeks. And I was already working at the facility. HR runs slowly. And all for different reasons. Good luck! 1 Likes
