HELP! New grad

Hello all!

I am in a predicament and would like advice. I recently graduated with my BSN (in March) and have been working as a Tech since July '10 on a step-down CVA/tele floor at Cleveland Clinic. My manager has had a job reserved for me since November, a mere 4 months after I started because I was such a good "fit" to the floor. However, a job in the MICU opened up in the hospital and I applied for an internal transfer. HR called and basically said to let them know what I want to do - she would arrange a meeting with the MICU manager, she was looking to hire internally, but she has also hired many new grads. She also said that my position has been held specifically for me for 6 months now. I fell in love with critical care after precepting and doing 2 rotations at a Level I trauma. HR said I could contact my manger to tell her I've applied or wait until/if I get an offer from MICU. HELP?!!

    I bet your manager knows. HR usually consults the manager who probably has already discussed your work habits. No one expects you to not accept an opportunity when it comes around. Pursue.

    I agree - this happens a lot. Go for the floor you really want, managers should not hold it against you. After all, not only do you have to be a good fit, but the unit has to be a good fit for you (and it won't be if you will always wish you chose the MICU instead).

    And btw - I would bet anything your manager already knows, with some facilities, the manager gets an email alert that a staff member applied for a transfer. Even if not, managers talk to each other and HR.

    Go for what you want!

    I used to work at CCF main campus. If you apply for another position, your current NM will know. The best policy is to be upfront with your current NM. There is nothing wrong with applying for a position that you would prefer to have. The NM understands this, because many of them have done the same thing. Once again, the key is to be open and up front with your current NM.
