I met with HR first then walked over to the hospital with the nurse recruiter. She was pleasant enough. Not sure why she waited so long on calling though?? Now that I am working in the department I realize I could have started a long time ago?? She one recruiter dropped me off to the hospital. They brought me into a large conference room with 3 women staring me down and one gentleman at the head who ensured I felt comfortable. Not sure if it was an aggressive woman thing or good cop and bad cops or what but the women were not very inviting. One of them was a director of something, two were education nurses. The dude was some sort of retention/happy RN sort of role. He asked the hardest questions but somehow they were the easiest to answer. The others made me feel like I was being judged or stupid. The others asked about a time I had a difficult patient, a time I had a bad physician, a time I had a difficult cosworkers. When I answered they just scribbled notes and if they did look up, just seemed like they were staring me down. He was nice and helped me answer the questions by just asking more questions. My mouth was so dry because I was so nervous and it was so hot out. He got me some water which was so nice. I had another upcoming interview at Tampa General. was caught offguard by offer!! I thought they might have dragged process on another year!! If dude had not been there I would have not immediately accepted the offer they made me and gone to see about other job interview later in that week then decided. Glad I got interview and accepted position. Dude has been by to see me already and how I am fitting in and if I need anything. He brings treats to all of the nurses here!!
