would you even attempt this?

I have been an RN on a telemetry floor for approx. 4 months at a hospital.

my hospital has a policy that you can't transfer within until at least 6 mos. in a position, however, i was reading the MR policy on that and it said under certain circumstances, a transfer may be made. there is a new RN position open in the OR for days and I would kill to have it.

if it were you, and you really wanted the OR day job, and you knew if u didn't apply soon it might go to a new grad (it's new grad season soon!) would u apply for it, even though you haven't been in uyour current position for 6 mos?

Can't hurt to apply all they can say is " You do not meet the qualifications" Or "Yes, we'd like you to interview"

wow, thank you everyone! i will definitely be applying for that job and will let everyone know if i get it!

You said you'd kill to get the position. Applying for it would be the humane choice. ;)

Apply. Funny thing about policies, they get ignored when a need arises.
