Help! I missed a call from HR and feel like I've missed my opportunity!

I am a new grad in the Chicago area and there are NO jobs for new nurses here. I've applied to over 50 jobs probably. Well, yesterday I walked away from my phone for literally 1 minute and 30 seconds to microwave hot water and in that 1 minute- of course a missed call and voicemail from Northwestern Memorial Hospital. It would be like my dream job to work there. The HR woman gave me her name and direct line so I immediately called back and it went to her voicemail. Tried again, voicemail again- so I left a voicemail. I continuously called her for the rest of the day with no answer or return to my message. So today I'm thinking she will call back. She doesn't. I left another voice message at like 9:00 AM. Still no return. I tried calling the general HR line and there's no option to let me talk to someone- only leave voicemails and listen to recordings.

What do I do?!?! I feel like I missed my one and only opportunity and I'm beating myself up over walking away from my phone for 1 minute. I feel like I will never get through to this person and she will give away my position before I have the chance to talk to her.
Call again!
Definitely call her back, but do not flood her with messages. Leaving one message a day is enough, and even then that may be construed by some as being stalker-ish.
Yeah I'm debating leaving another one this morning... I feel like I should though and then not tomorrow since its Thanksgiving obviously. I just don't get it, I called her back 20 seconds after she called me and have been trying to get a hold of her since. I just wish I could go back in time and answer that call!
Just keep trying to reach her. It can be quite frustrating, been there, done that. Good luck!

Sorry to hear this happened to you. Something similar has happened to me more than once. It is frustrating because the person never calls back, they just cross you off the list. I also had someone call me early one Saturday morning and give me an initial interview over the phone. I can't remember if they told me, or if I figured it out myself, that they called on Saturday morning deliberately, to see if I was accessible, (back in the day before widespread cell phone use). I got the second interview partly because I answered my phone that morning. Agree that you should carry your cell phone with you even into the bath room. Hope she returns the call and that you get the job.
