Thank you note for hospital RN recruiter?

I was just offered (and accepted) my first nursing job. It's in the hospital I worked in as a NA during my last year of school.

One of the recruiters in HR went out of her way to send me on a couple different interviews in the hospital, walked me through different interview techniques, tricks on how to answer questions (yes, it really *is* all about turning the answers back toward you and your experience), etc. I did send her a thank you note after the first time she met with me expressing my appreciation and gratitude for taking time out her schedule.

When she called and offered me this job, I did take the time to thank her personally for all that she's done, and how much I appreciate her help.

Do I now send her another note since I've been hired? Should it be a regular note, a card? Do I send something more?

For whatever it's worth, she's also a RN.

Thanks for your input.

Rather than send her another card now, how about you wait until you have been working for a couple of weeks? Then send her a card with a quick update about how much you are enjoying you job and how much you appreciate her help in securing the position. She'll probably appreciate the update and you might make her day when she doesn't expect it.

I agree with Ashley about waiting and then sending an update.

Do you think you can share some of the techniques and answer tips she gave you? I'm really interested, especially if it can help me during interviews.
