Thank you note after an interview-who to send it to?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I'm a CNA/EMT-B (and just started my nursing prerequisites). I interviewed on Friday for an ED Tech position. I am very excited about this position as it would be another step closer to my goal of becoming an ER nurse as well as great experience (this hospital is the only Level 1 Trauma center in the state, as well as being one of the largest, busiest hospitals). I am planning to send a thank-you note to follow up. I had an interview with two of the nurse managers last week and then a second, peer interview with two of the ER nurses and two techs on Friday. Problem is that I didn't catch all of their names, so I am not sure how/who to address the thank-you note to. Writing "nurse managers, nurses and techs" seems too vague and canned. Suggestions?

Write the two NMs & then say interview team or something to that effect.

In most organizations, the interviewers are asked to provide the applicant with their business cards as part of this process. This makes it easy to follow up with thank you notes. If they do not, you could always ask them for cards as the interview concludes.

Don't leave out the HR person that is your liaison, they can make or break you :up:

Be as specific as possible on the envelope. I work in OB and tons of families send thank you cards and baby pics to the unit and we put in on a bulletin board in the hallway. I was reading it and i noticed one of the cards was a thank you for the interview card for the nurse manager. Awkward.
