RN Interview: Where to send a thank you note

That should work just fine. You might want to add the unit where these people work (especially if in large hospital).

Best wishes

Ok. Thank you.

I share your question. I have always followed up with a hand written thank you on a nice note card. I use to take it to the hospital the following day - as recommended by my schools career center. Today I discovered none of my thank yous (8) to one hospital had been delivered to the individuals - they were left on an area desk for over 3 weeks. Now I guess I know why I haven't heard back.

However, mail can also be delayed without mail codes. With jobs so competitive, getting the thank-you's to the person quickly is the only chance at landing the job. And after waiting weeks for a recruiter to review your application - landing the interview is HUGE.

This process is very disheartening.

Lee.mckinley, it 's horrible that your notes weren't delivered. I ended up mailing the thank you card, but I have no idea if it was ever received. Maybe send it certified mail? It might still not end up getting to your interviewer though. Applying, interviewing and waiting for a response from hospitals is horrible, but don't give up you'll find something eventually.

Also, if your are in an oversaturated area you might consider applying a bit further away. The commute might be horrible, but at least you'd be getting experience.

Best of luck.

i interviewed at a few hospitals in NYC... i found out sending thank you notes makes no difference in terms of hiring. I got hired to where i did not have an address where to sent the note. But those who gave me a business card and i sent them thank you note...did not hire me. If u still want to send one...i would say send to whatever address is on the business card. If the manager gives you an email adress instead then just send a thank you email...I would imagine some managers get sick of getting thank you cards of all the people they interview and it just clutters their office.
