Late on interview.

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?

    Long term care is not the same as acute or urgent care. Many states permit LPNs to be in supervisory roles in LTC, especially if the floor staff are all LPNs. Are you sure lvns can legally hang blood in CA? (That's not commonly within the scope of practice for an LPN/LVN within the U.S.)

    There are many urgent cares that employ all MA's. So they have LPN's which supervise MA's in their scope.

    And interestingly, in reading the scope of practice for any number of LPN's in many states, the language is such that the only thing that LPN's can not do is clinically supervise RN's. Otherwise, it is policy per facility, and showing competencies. (I was surprised by that as well)

    Anyways, there are out of country RN's who can and do come to the US and the only license they can obtain is an LPN license. Not sure if this is specific to CA or not. Then there's a few hoops--including if they are educationally able to sit for the NCLEX-RN in the US, or need to have other US education in which to do so. There are many countries outside of the US that the primary education level is that of USA's 10th grade, then the last 2 years are university (which is akin to US 11th and 12th grade), plus 2 more years of university--so in other words, that of a US associate's degree as opposed to a US BSN.

    There are US hospitals/Urgent cares that utilize LPN's to the fullest extent that is allowable under their licenses. In Urgent care, sometimes they are glorified MD offices, that send out to the ER if patient warrants a higher level of care. So they work under an MD/NP as opposed to a traditional hospital setting. But by utilizing LPN's to their greatest degree, they are able to keep costs down. Hence why they mostly utilize MA's as opposed to a more traditional RN and LPN facility or clinic.

    As a hiring manager, I can assure you that if the employer were still considering you, the apologetic email has likely turned them off.

    Next time, plan for delays and leave home earlier.

    Update:

    I got an interview again with them AGAIN under case/utilization management. I'll be early this time! :)
