General, thank you for putting this into perspective for me. I appreciate your response!

Thanks Nascar.

Hi all, So a few months ago, I interviewed for an RN position at a hospital with HR, then the NM of the med-surg unit then finally the peer interview. It was with 5 RNs and I thought it went really well. Turns out that they liked me, but went with a RN who worked there for a year and they felt that he would be a better fit. So fast forward to last week, I get a call from the NM of another unit wanting to interview me and I gladly went to it (I already have the endorsement from HR so he forwards my resume to any unit that may fit me). She and another NM interviewed me and gave me info about the unit and hospital culture, asked a few questions about myself (regular interview questions), I asked about the position in detail. So now, the next step would be..... ANOTHER PEER INTERVIEW! They have several internal candidates going for this position. I felt so internally deflated. Should I even bother to get my hopes up? I feel that if they already have people in mind, it's unfair to drag me along again..... Or maybe I'm overindulging in self-pity. Any advice?? Thanks!

Hello all, So last Wednesday, I had my peer interview with 6 nurses for a med/surg position. I already met with the NM, then HR. The peer interview was the last step. 2 other people were selected for the peer interview also. It seemed that everything went well during the interview. Good eye contact, I was genuine but conscious of my answers and they were really opening up about the position, how to get adjusted to it, what to expect and never be afraid to ask for help. At the end, as I went to tell the NM goodbye, she let me know that I would hear from HR by next week (which would be this week). I know that they're looking to fill the position soon, orientations begins on Tuesday. So my question is, when should I have heard back from HR if my interview was on Wednesday and all the interviews were completed by then? I know I'm working myself into a frenzy but I'd just really like to know at this point. Since it will be a week since my interview, should I call HR today? Thanks for your advice!
