Sad...

Trying to keep my hopes up!!!

You should still call in the morning. No telling how many people interviewed so you have to stand out. Show interest in the job. I always liked it when interviewees would call. It shows interest and determination. I've also gotten jobs before by calling.

I would say, 'Hello, my name is Lindsey, I interviewed last week and wanted to call to follow up on my interview. I want to thank you for the opportunity for the interview, I'm very interested in this job and know I'd be a great fit for the position.....have you made any decisions at this time?'

I think you are right. I will, I think that like you said it would really make me stand out. I will keep you posted!!! Immediately after the call. Thanks so much!! :bowingpur

I edited and added to my last post. Good luck. The call will not hurt, if they have you in mind, they'll be very glad you called.

What should I say if they say they have already made a decision and it wasn't me? Should I ask why they didn't decide on me?

I would ask because if you don't, you'll prob always wonder. Think positive :)

Definitely ask why they didn't choose you if that is the outcome. It may be something you hadn't realized was an issue, and can be changed for the next interview.

So I called and left a message. Stating my name that I interviewed last week thanked them for the opportunity and left my number if they have any further questions. Is that ok?

That's great. if you don't hear back, call back in a couple days. good luck.

Oh! Tribal council? Review your transcultural nursing... and remember that their sense of time might be different than yours, and a few days to you might mean something quite different to them! In any case, your continued interest in working there, and letting them know that might make you stand out among others that interviewed.... so I'd call every 4 or so days.

Keep calling. A few days to them could mean anywhere from 2-3 days, to a couple weeks. The native americans I have worked with are not usually in a hurry, ever.

Yes, most definately. I have native american family members and we say you are on tribe time when they are late to my european time. So, more than likely it will be a little later than anticipated. Thanks for reinforcing what I was thinking :hug:

I just want to thank all of my wonderful nursing friends for giving me sound advice. I really appreciate it, my deepest gratitude. P.S. when I was interviewed I said that of course belonging to the ANA and my states nursing board I was very proud to be apart of the All Nurses Community!! You guys are the best and NURSES RULE!!!!! :cheers:
