Internal transfer - nurse manager not hiring from a specific floor?

[x28y31]

Hello everyone. Have been a nurse for 6 years, 3 in OR. Currently working on a med surg floor because couldn't find a position in OR when I first applied. There are job openings now and I reached out to the nursing manager and he responded asking about my experience and availability, as well as where I currently work. Emailed back and stated I worked on the 2nd floor, my availability, and experience and never got a reply back since. I have heard rumors that my current nurse manager has complained to other managers in meetings that her nurses keep leaving the 2nd floor for other places in the hospital, especially OR and PACU. Is this possibly a reason why the OR manager does not seem interested after learning i am on the 2nd floor? How should I respond to this situation? I plan on leaving the 2nd floor to go back to surgical nursing soon, so the my current manager will be losing a nurse even if I don't get an internal transfer. But I am pretty loyal to this hospital system and would like to stay here. Any advice? Thank you!

I would talk to your nurse manager and share your goals. A good manager will help you achieve them. If your manager will not help you, then you know you will have to leave your current hospital to get the opportunities you desire. You may or may not have to leave the hospital system.
