Hello, I graduated from nursing school in may, passed my boards in June and have been applying for jobs since. A nurse recruiter from the hospital I really want to work at called me in early October to tell me they had a job they think I would be a good candidate for. She had me select 4 references to complete a survey about me. She said I would be hearing back from someone in Human Resources shortly. I got my references done right away and kept waiting for the phone call. Two days passed and I heard nothing. I called the nurse recruiter back and she said the person who was supposed to call me had been sick and was out, so just keep waiting and she will call. I waited a few more days and called her back and she basically said that she had done her job, I may or may not be hearing back from HR, it was out of her hands now and I just had to wait and see. She made it pretty clear that she did not want me calling her again. So ever since then I have been waiting. The status online still says skill survey/references, so I'm not sure if that means I'm still in the running or not? It has been over a month. Should I call the general Human Resources number and ask if I'm still being considered? I don't want to seem annoying. I need a job so badly and this is the only place that has contacted me and I've been applying everywhere. At this point I'm thinking of applying for a cna type job just to gain some experience.
