Full time position

Hi all,

Just want advice/direction.

So I have been in my part time position for about 6 months now new graduate. I didn't think I would enjoy it but I really do. Since I am part time, they can cancel my shifts based on patients in the unit. The unit I am in doesn't have full time positions often and barely anyone leaves.

I am unionized and based on the agreement, the manager has to put the job posting for a week and interview etc internally based on seniority. However, this did not happen and I found out that the nurse who is in residency program got the full time position. I am quite certain I have more seniority over the nurse.
My dilemma is, I want the full time position for stability and have a routine but at the same time I don't want to have a sour relationship with the nurse. I don't think it's her fault.

I am not sure what to do...

    If the full time position was specifically a New Grad position, it's possible that you didn't qualify since you have 6 months of experience. Not sure if this is the case for your workplace, but hospitals where I live only consider those with less than 6 months of experience as New Grads. Doesn't matter if it's full time or part time work, anything more than 6 months of RN work with their license disqualifies them for New Grad positions and they have to apply for experienced nurse positions instead.
