I would say keep trying to get in contact with them. Call HR directly maybe? I'm in the same position right now and am waiting to hear back from the hospital I really want to work and it's been a week and a half! So frustrating!! But I would say, get in wherever you can because it's hard to find a job in the nursing field aside from this 'nursing shortage' that doesn't seem to exist since no one can find jobs. So wherever you got a job, go for it. At least you'll have your foot in the door and that will be experience on your résumé and then you'll be getting more interviews once you decide to get another job.Congratulations on the job you start next week!!

Sorry, let me clarify. I know everything has to go trough with HR first but from what I understand, the hiring manager sends up the people's applications that she WANTS to hire and doesn't send te applications of those she DOESN'T want to hire. So basically I'm just asking, is she not allowed to tell me if she sent my app back up to HR or not? Like if she didn't want to hire me, would she have told me that instead of telling me HR is taking forever to get done with all that stuff?I hope that clarifys a little!

YES! I called the nurse supervisor today (she is the one that called me originally and set up my first interview with herself). She said she had made several offers to HR and is waiting to hear back from them and said they are taking a very long time. But, she did not tell me whether she made an offer for me. Do you think she would have told me if she did not? Also, she said since HR is taking so long that she wouldn't tell me no if I wanted to search for other jobs and that freaked me out a little. Why would she tell me that?? And why couldn't she just tell me if she made an offer for me or not??

Hello everyone! I'm new to allnurses.com I am about to graduate in March and have started applying for jobs. Out of all the jobs I applied for, the hospital I wanted to work at the most gave me a call! It was the nurse supervisor that called me to set up an interview, not HR. I went to that interview with just her and I and called two days later to come in for a peer interview a day later. Now, it has been a week and a half. I called the nurse supervisor today to ask about any update regarding hiring status. She was very vague and said she had made a few offers to HR but they are taking forever to respond. And she also added that if I wanted to apply for other jobs, that she would not tell me no because HR is taking so long. So, my question is, if she did not make an offer for me to HR, would she have just told me I didn't get the job? Im confused! Just FYI, it is a new grad program they are starting in March and are looking to hire 12 new grads in the MICU.
