Meet nursing managers or wait for HR?

[QueeenB]

Hello everyone, just wanted to ask something: is it ok to show up unannounced to nursing units and try to meet with nurse managers or is that borderline weird? Lol I've been applying to this hospital for what seems like forever & I've never gotten a call back. I've dropped my application off and follow up with HR accordingly but I never get anywhere. I see openings on their website & follow up with HR all the time. They said I don't need to reapply & I'm getting sick of it. I want to go into the units & maybe talk to the nursing managers. Is this a good idea or not? Thanks for all your help.

Long term care... Go in person. As I've read before... In person in the hospital... Need to be lucky. I suppose it's how well you sell yourself blocking your way to the unit manager

Hi! I'm trying to get out of LTC.. Lol I'm trying to get into the hospital or a clinic, which is my first choice.

Here's another thought---and I would be the first one to call unit managers and make appointments--however, I would call the HR office and state that you have submitted an application for employment within the last 6 months, you have seen job xyz as listed, and that you would like your application on file to be submitted for that particular job. Sometimes that is all it takes--asking that your application be submitted to a particular job.
