Emailing a manager about a job opening?

[Sweetpea04, BSN]

Hello all I'm an experienced RN and in about 3 weeks I am able to transfer departments (we have to stay in a department for 1 year). 
 

I am working in bedside oncology and I'm really unhappy. I'm looking to leave asap.

There are a few positions within my hospital company that are hiring for nurses that interest me - mother/baby, outpatient units, ICU's, etc.

I want to show my interest in some of these positions and worry by the time I able to apply for transfer, that it will be too late.

 

would it be unprofessional for me to email the manager (the mother baby unit) my resume and cover letter expressing my interest in the department, but that I wouldn't be able to transfer until 3 weeks from now?

 

should I show up in person and hand my resume?

 

can anyone offer advice? I'm really unhappy and want to leave my current job. 
 

I have experience in adult oncology, 7 months NICU, outpatient oncology, and a remote oncology abstraction job. 4 years as an RN.

Just wait the three weeks and apply. Do not email the managers! Most would wonder why you are emailing them when you could just apply in three weeks. Three weeks is not that long and most positions will still be there. When you apply to the different units make sure you do not just copy and paste a generic cover letter.
