yeah you're not really allowed to do anything. just observation. no skills necessary. they might ask you questions on what you see and stuff. its really laid back. you'll be fine! good luck :)

Hi!! I want to contact the unit manager but I wasn't given her contact information so I would have no way on contacting her. I am tempted to call HR since they didnt answer my email over a week ago but i dont want ot be annoying. As for the shadowing, i think it went well. It was 8 hours long. The nurses were very sweet/ i had questions prepared for them. i asked them about the unit, about the job, about a typical day. stuff like that, i didnt really know how else to preprare for it. It was a long day and i learned alot! I think it went well and i think the interview went even better. but i haven't heard anything so i've had anxiety about it. i'm just not sure what to do.i have a friend who works on that unit but i dont know how to go about asking her what her thoughts are without seeming like i'm asking her to do a favor for me haha

bump!

Hello! so i applied to Northwestern in December. took a while for them to get back to me. Eventually they did towards the end of December, i got a video interview. I completed it. I got a call a few days later from HR stating they would like to schedule me for Shadow day and interview. i completed both of those. i felt as if the interview went pretty well. the unit manager even told me i did a good job that day. that was almost 2 weeks ago. She told i wouldnt hear from HR immediately but not to panic as the HR guy had the next 2 days off and wouldnt be in the office. So i patiently waited. After about a week or so, i'm becoming a bit frustrated. i Emailed the HR guy on Monday 1/25/17 sending a Thank You email for granting me the experience to shadow and interview and to send my warm regards to the unit as well. I also asked to inquire about the next steps in the interview process. he hasn't gotten back to me or called. I dont really know what to do... is this typical? does this mean i wont be offered a position? seems as of late not many hospitals are trying to hire new grads.. ive applied at, what feels like, everywhere and they were the only hospital to schedule an interview... what should i do?
