new grad, first interview, few questions

[gaylordfocker2002]

i just had my first interview and it seemed to go pretty well. the nurse interviewing me told me should would contact me at the end of the week. a few minutes after i got home i recieved a call from her. she asked me if i could come in tomorrow to observe change of shift report, and observe the way things work on the unit. she assigned me to one nurse in particular and asked me to acompany her with her patients.

now, does this happen often? she didnt tell me i had the job.....

if this is common, what does it usually mean?

also, she complimented me on some questions i asked her today. she told me to bring some more questions for tomorrow. anyone have any good questions i can ask the staff? i just want to make a good impression, so any input is appreciated.

thanks everyone.

It sounds to me as if you got the job, or she must be one pretty selective manager. I say this because, if she has not hired you then she might just want you to come in to see how you fit in with the staff, and to give you a chance to get a feel for the unit.

Let us know what happens tommorrow. Hope you got it, good luck!

I agree. I would look at this as a good sign. Just make sure you have questions for the staff and observe as much as you possibly can to know what you're getting into if you get offered the job.

Good luck!

I think it's a really positive sign that you were called right back in! wow...It's impressive. I am very curious about the questions you asked that you were complimented on? I always struggle to think of some because usually the interviewer is so thorough about the job description, employee culture, etc..
