After applying for a new nursing job and completing an interview, it’s normal to be both nervous and excited. You may be anxious to hear back as soon as possible. The good news is that you can follow up with a prospective employer, as long you go about it the right way. You do not want to come off as pushy or desperate. At the end of an interview, you should always ask when to expect to hear something back. If that time has passed without any contact, you can send out an email expressing your continued interest in the job. Another option is to send a brief thank you email after the interview to let the hiring manager know that you appreciate their time.
