So I have seen nurses seeking jobs on this site asking if they should email the nurse manager of the floor that they applied to or that is hiring.

Given that the candidate has actually filled out the appropriate application online, how do you guys feel about candidates sending the nurse manager of that unit an email?

yay or nay? why or why not?

Would you opt for an email or a phone call if given the choice?

If the email was provided then I dont see why not. I imagine most jobs dont post the manager's direct email because they want the applicant to go through HR. I wouldn't ever email a manager if I acquired the email through someone else who knows him/her.
