I had opportunity to have a interview as clinical supervisor in a urgent under hospital. I had my first interview maybe couple weeks ago and it was extensive and 1 hour long. The nurse manager said I should wait a week if I'm going to do the 2nd (interview with the staff) 3rd (supervisor, department heads) and 4th interview (medical director) to them. After 2 days they called me already and schedule me for coming 2nd 3rd and 4th interview to them which he said that he liked me and I'm good int he position.
Day of 2nd interview today, I got LATE FOR 2 minutes??? I called them that I can't find any parking. But before I go inside the office, the manager said sorry and I can't do the interview anymore
My question is, should I still go next week for my final interview to them? Or should I consider that I messep up already?
I feel so bad I feel like I upset them which is I know they did. Should I still email the manager if I'm still consider to the position? Or I'm technically out for the position?
I slept through and missed a phone interview for a per diem position; ironically HR rep called me an hour late and I still missed the interview . I called to apologize and the rep stated that all the positions were filled.
My take away is pretty much like Commuter's; I'm sure you will find another position.
Rolling on the floor.. and laughing at the OP's struggle to word her email is not appropriate.
The OP holds a professional license, applying for a professional position. You are not qualified to laugh at her... no one else here has done so.
Thank you for saying that!!! Regardless of the "appropriateness" of her apology letter, it seemed sincere and from the heart. I don't see the need for anyone to poke fun. I am sure she appreciates constructive criticism and if she returns may make use of some of those helpful suggestions.

I think that the scope for an LVN in California might be a tiny bit broader than in other states.
Nope, California's LVN scope of practice is one of the most restrictive in the US. They cannot give medications via IV push or IV piggy back in CA; hence, they struggle to get hired in acute care. After all, when you must hunt down an RN to administer all your IV medications, what's the point of working on an acute care floor when you're an LVN?
In addition, California LVNs cannot complete initial assessments or formulate the initial plan of care.
I am in Texas where the LVN scope of practice is truly wide. LVNs give medications via IV push and IV piggy back. They start peripheral IV lines, maintain PICCs and central lines, and administer blood products as long as the policies and procedures of their workplace allow them to do these things. LVNs here do their own assessments.
I was also licensed in Oklahoma where the LPN scope of practice is so wide that LPNs can be found in critical care. They can do all the things that Texas LVNs do, in addition to other duties such as pronouncement of death.
I don't agree with recruiters and HR who think tardiness is mark against a candidate. "Why would you hire someone with poor time management" - um because maybe that person doesn't have time management problems and in fact life just happened to get in the way? The other day I sat in 2 hours of traffic. Tiger Woods and Donald Trump were in the area for the golf club - a swell of visitors and onlookers to the area, rush hour traffic - all the ingredients for a spectacular crap show. It happens. And 2 mins late is really nothing. furthermore, as you can see in the cray cray thread, just because someone's on time doesn't make that person a better candidate; you might be on time, but you're also ************ crazy. I'm embarrassed for the OP with that letter, though. I understand life is tough and when you're that close you don't want to relinquish but that was a prime example of groveling. I wouldn't want to work at a place that treated me like that just even on an interview.

Bingo! I have a coworker who always reports to work 30 minutes prior to the start of each shift to pull medications from the Pyxis early and gripe about her assignment to negotiate getting one less patient. To keep a long story short, she's as crazy as a Betsy Bug.
Her time management is crappy, too, since she usually does not leave until 8:30pm when her shift ended at 7:00pm.

I was 30 minutes early for an interview once, waited until 15 minutes past the scheduled time and then was told by the administrative assistant that the interviewer needed to reschedule. I rescheduled the interview, but when I got home there were multiple messages on my answering machine all wanting to know why I hadn't showed up for the interview. The assistant apparently hadn't told anyone I was there. I didn't get the job. The assistant didn't keep hers.
'Twas a joke. Unfortunately, my jokes tend to have a hint of sarcasm, which is not easily portrayed via the internet. (This is a non-sarcastic post. Really.)
