how long after an interview did you find out if you got the job?
If I give you a summary of my interview could you maybe give me your opinions as to how you think it went?
Interview lasted a little over an hour. They asked me questions, I asked them questions. After I asked my questions they asked me several times if I had MORE questions. After the interview they gave me a tour and introduced me to the clinical nurse specialist.
The position is for labor and delivery and when I asked them
"If I do not get this job, what advice would you give me so that I can secure this job in the future?"
their response was : "That is a great question. To be honest there really isn't anything that I can think of, you've done great. The only drawback I can foresee is the fact that you are a new graduate"
wow I am so sorry you were that stressed! What type of position were you interviewing for?
It was the only job I wanted in an ICU where I had my internship. I had my little heart set on it, so when all my other friends who applied to the same hospital heard back before me I was crushed. I can be kind of a high strung gal so in my eyes not getting this job was a failure, therefore I was a loser. I finally found out I got the position the after my graduation :)
In my SNF job I am in now, I got the job offer that same day. With the hospital job I just got, I had one interview with a tour and a second interview with the shift supervisors set up. I had to wait two weeks for the second interview, but was given the job offer directly after it. Now I am just waiting on the paperwork process :-)

All depends on the facility and HR requirements. I interviewed at one place on a Tuesday, and thought I nailed it. Got a call Friday that I didn't get the job. Interviewed on a Thursday at another place, got a job offer the following Monday. Another time, went for a Wednesday interview at 11:30 A.M. and the recruiter told me before the interview I would hear by Friday. After the interview, she said they were impressed and I would hear that afternoon. Got a call offering me the job at 2:30 p.m. I have learned to never read into the interview. The ones where I felt things had gone really well are the ones I didn't get, so I quit setting myself up for disappointment. I agree that if you don't get the job, you should try and get back with someone who interviewed you and ask what you need to do to be in a better position. Sometimes they will be honest with you, and that is a help.
