Meeting the Sr. Director of Operations for an Interview ??

Published

I am currently interviewing for a nursing job. I went through the first round of interviews with 5 different people the same day. I just got an email saying they wanted to set a 2nd interview with the Sr. Director of Operations...I have never heard of any hospital doing this before. Does anyone know why they would have me meet with this person/what this person's job role is? I'm not too familiar w the business side of things so I'm just confused why they want me to meet with this specific person. he seems very high up on the chain and i'm scared. If anyone else has heard of this can you help a girl out?? Why would this operations director meet with an individual nurse? Thanks!

In my organization, Sr. Director of Operations = VP of Patient Services = Director of Nursing AND another department/"product line" (Therapy Services, IT, outpatient clinics, etc.)

Could be a fancy title for Director of a unit or area. What were some of the other positions of the others that interviewed you?

Think of it as a good way to internally network. (If you end up working there.)

Don't be afraid; this person gets constipated if he doesn't eat enough fiber- just like regular folks do...

This is a good perspective.

The job I have now for Hospice is for a small non profit hospice. My 2nd interview was with the CEO

That's what confuses me though!! If it were a smaller company I wouldn't be so confused, but this is for one of the largest hospitals in my area... (in response to twinmom--it wouldn't let me quote you for some reason haha)

And this is for a shift nursing job, meaning, staff nurse, 12 hour shift, nothing else added to your role, regular patient care?
