Process of hiring

[toi121]

Hello all I recently applied for a nursing assistant position at a hospital, so excited to say that I passed their nursing assistant test and was set up for an interview with the charge nurse on the PCU unit. SO EXCITED!!! Went for my interview today and so happy to say that I was invited back to shadow for 4hrs (but the shift I'm hiring for is a midnight 12hr.) I asked would I be able to stay longer just so I could see the shift from beginning to end. (Hey she said the purpose of shadowing is to see if you like the unit and would the unit be a match for you.) She said she just wanted to make me aware I would not be getting paid for none of this (really don't care it's the education factor of it all).

I'm so excited but have a question or two;

After the shadowing what would be the next step?

It is a good thing to be asked to come in and shawdow?

And guys any advice you have would help me out a lot.:redpinkhe

I'm not really sure, but it sounds like if they want you to shadow, that's a good sign. :)

Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, I think after shadowing,then they invite you to work on the unit for a couple hours, sort of to monitor your work & see if you're able to do the job(never did this for any of my CNA jobs, but I did have one job explain that was their process for hiring ).
