As several nurses here predicted, the interviewer did not show up for my scheduled interview. I reported the no-show through the email link Providence provided, but I received no response.

Then I checked the Providence candidate portal, and the positions status now says, “interview completed – under consideration “. Apparently they completed the interview they never attended, which is almost funny.

Providence sent me two separate scheduling emails for the same position, so I have another interview scheduled on Friday. I’ll attend, although at this point, I suspect they may not show up for that interview either.

Edit: spelling

I applied for many jobs all over the Portland area. I applied for a job at Providence in mid July. On the candidate/careers portal, it says that they want to interview me. But they have never contacted me.
Is this some cruel joke? I’ve applied for many jobs. In many different states during my career. Oregon has been the most mysterious and difficult. Does anyone have any advice?

I am seeking advice on how to approach interviews.
Work history: 36 years experience, mostly HH, hospice, certified wound care and ostomy management clinic RN and orthopedic clinic case manager. 

I have been out of work since January. In January I got a cold (viral) and developed LBBB and HF EF 29%. Previously healthy and active. Hiking and weights. I eventually had to fly out of my state for surgery, CRT and defibrillator because the cardiologist in my state were unable to care for me. Then I moved closer to good care. I am continuing cardiac rehab. My doctors say that they are confident I’ll recover well. I’m just still fatigued. 

  I have  obtained my nursing license for the state that I’m in now. 
When I start applying and go to interviews, what do I say as far as being off from work?
Do I not mention being sick and being on disability?
Can I start applying now but say I’m not available until September? Sept is my cardiac rehab ends. At that time I have a follow up echo and a stress test. 

Sorry if that’s too much information. Any advice is welcome. 

I had everything handed into the Oregon State board of nursing. And then my transcript was mailed out from an information storage provider on May 14. OSBN did not receive my transcript.
The information storage company mailed it out two more times up upon my request. OSNB we’re still not receiving it.
Finally, I got the Transcription mail to me overnight FedEx. I drove to the OSBN. They had told me they would accept the transcript in a sealed envelope.
So I didn’t open this FedEx envelope.

As I was handing it over to the woman at the board of nursing, I realized that it is my maiden name on the transcript. Even though I gave the board of nursing my maiden name and my marriage name somehow they’re not able to make the connection. I explained the conflicting names it to the woman that I handed it to. They issued my license within a couple hours.

I do think that the nursing board should somehow be able to figure that out. I could imagine a lot of women get their education before they get married. I just can’t imagine that the board of nursing is making this mistake all the time and they don’t correct it.
