skillsurvey and job references

[empatheticRN]

i just completed a list of references for a job I recently applied for. The company iis called skillsurveys , which compiles a minimum of 5 job references and then send emails to the references. I have completed a total of 7 references and only one person has completed the survey the last time I checked my skillsurvey account. Its a day and a half now since the completion of my reference list and I have only one completed reference. I have resent the email and even guided them on what to look for. I am feeling very nervous because a job I've always wanted may never become mine because my references were not completed. Has anyone had experience with this company or any like it? Or incomplete refernces but still get the job?

I wouldn't worry! When I set up the skills survey thingy, my references took two days to complete it. I think they are more patient with this form of collecting references, because having someone reply to an email is a lot slower than actually calling them! Good luck!! :-)

thanks for your kind words. I finally got all 5 references after a week. We will see what happens

Did you remind any of your references to complete it? It's been 24 hours and i've sent the email a second time. That got the job done for 1 girl. I already have 3 done and they did it without me prompting them (my current unit director, previous director of operations or my boss, and a colleague . So that's 3 down, the other is a coworker who I texted last night saying to please do it tomorrow, and I texted him tonight saying "did you get the email? I hope i didn't have the wrong email addresS" because it's still not done, and he's the one who offered to do it. My supervisor (who works nights) who I get along with very well hasn't done it yet even after telling her to do it within 24-48 hours (that was yesterday AM that I told her). I think she would write a good one and she has seen me in stressful situations AND wrote to the VP of nursing saying I was organized and positive on stressful nights on unit X and unit X, and the VP wrote me a letter saying she said that and that i was appreciated and bla blah blah. I hope she does it soon, but then again, when you're short one nurse, it makes their job harder. I hope she does the survey and as for this other guy i hope he does it. I think I'll stop emailing and texting and being annoying. The recruiter returns on 1/25 anyway.

What do you think? Have I done everything right? Will i get the job based on references? Am I being pushy?
