Re: No return call from nurse manager, should I keep calling?
I dropped by the nurse manager's office today (one with voicemails) to see if they were hiring and unfortunately they're not (d/t budget and new grad overload). But the manager stated that it was good I had my preceptorship on the floor and that my preceptors were great references (Nurse manager was really kind and stated if it is really tough out there to find a nursing job). She did stated there might be something open in the fall and requested a copy of my resume for future reference. Three other nursing managers in the same hospital requested my resume (even though they were full too) and the nurse manager in critical care stated she will send it to all the other nurse managers in the hospital (thank you, thank you, thank you).
But guess what. I went to pay a visit to the nurse managers in the ortho and oncology floor at another hospital and I think I might have an interview on the ortho floor (she was stating that I am going to be interviewed by three nursing directors)- so I kinda get the vibe that I might be interviewed. Also, one of the nurses on the oncology floor insisted I leave my resume in the nurse manager's basket with a note stating I am looking for a position, because they were currently open for new nurses. I don't know- I guess I have to wait and find out next week. But yeah, seeing the nurse manager face-to-face really helps put your foot in the door, rather playing the waiting game.
Thanks everybody.
