Need some simple advice.

I had an interview for my dream job on Monday. It went REALLY well, I ended up interviewing with five people including the NM, clinical coordinator, the HR manager, and two nurses who would be my preceptors. It was comfortable, we laughed and joked, they were impressed by my accomplishments and my determination. The nurse manager told me I probably wouldn't hear back until Friday and that she was going to call HR to get going on my references. I worked my per diem job today and asked my nurse manager if she had heard from anyone about references (I'm totally open with her about my dream job and she completely supports me) and she told me no one had called her. I never heard from them today. Do you think something went wrong? Is this a common thing to happen? I was thinking maybe HR/the NM got busy and behind, but I can't stop those awful creeping thoughts of doubt from entering my mind. I'm worried I said or did something that threw them but I can't think of anything. I truly thought the interview went as well as it could have. I should hear back either way but it makes me really worried that they didn't check references from my one RN position or call me at all. Has this happened to anyone before? Did your experience turn out to be positive or negative? Thanks so much in advance.

I got a "you're hired" letter for a job that I had quit, the week after I quit! I'd worked the job 6 months before I quit it.

Too funny. :)

.. according to the powers, I was a very bad boy.

Took me 3 months to get reinstated then they back-paid me for a job I hadn't even started.
