Internal Applications

Good evening everyone,

I graduated with my MSN in Nursing Education in April of this year. A couple of months before graduation, I started applying for open clinical educator positions within the hospital where I currently work. As I have started to becomes more dissatisfied with my current position, I have also applied for other open positions, without success. There is currently a clinical educator position available, and I believe it is for the last unit that I worked on. It has been over a month since I applied for this position, and I have not heard anything about the status of this position.

I find it quite odd that shortly after I applied for this position, I was contacted by an HR business partner who is new to my organization. Her email stated that she was reaching out to me because of my numerous internal applications, and she wanted to meet with me to discuss what I am looking for in a new position.

Should I be worried about having to meet with this business partner? Is this why I haven't heard anything about the current position I applied for? I am so confused by all of this, and I don't meet with this person until this coming Tuesday.

Any advice or insight would be great!

Thanks in advance!

    I don't understand what a "business partner" is in this context.

    I don't know what a "business partner" is either -- and I don't know the content or context of your current job is either. So that makes it hard to answer the question asked. Since we don't know what type of work you do and what your relationship is with your boss, it's hard to know whether you have reason for concern or not.

    However ... I think you response is probably a very standard one. Tell the person (and maybe your boss) that you are looking at your options because now that you have your MSN, you would like to know what new options might be available for you. Don't mention negatives about your current job, focus on your search for something positive now that you have a new, higher degree. that is a normal course of events and nothing to be embarrassed about.
