I applied for the director of inpatient services position in Jan 2022 while I was in school obtaining my MSN in nursing management and organizational leadership. I feel like it went really well when I interviewed with the CNO. Then I was called back for a 2nd team interview. Unfortunately I did not get the job and the CNO told me there was someone with more experience but encouraged me to apply for other positions within the facility. I see the position is open again and I have now completed my MSN. My question is should I just apply for the position again or should I email the CNO and reiterate my interest in the position?

Do you think I should just submit an application or email the CNO?

go throught the application process.  If the CNO gave you their business card and stated you could email them, then do it after you sumit your application.  In a cover letter make sure you address how you highlight how you have increased your experience

The Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) may reach out to you to apply, but you should not email them.

Please follow the regular application process. Contacting the CNO directly may come across as informal and presumptuous.
