I applied for an internal transfer at job #1. I'd still be working in a lot of the same units that I'm working in right now. The pay is slightly higher, but I also have to meet a minimum number of hours including a weekend commitment that they're very firm about. I figured that I had nothing to lose: I wasn't resigning from my current position so if I didn't get the transfer, I'd still have a job at facility #1.
That was last Friday. I haven't heard anything yet, not even a "hey, got your resume, will let you know" from the recruiter that I've dealt with several times in the past.
I realize that I'm suffering from some impatience. E-mail and the instant gratification of the Internet can spoil a person: one gets so used to being able to get feedback/responses via the Web in a very short time.
At the same time, I also realized that the position I applied for had been--still is--posted for more than two months now. So I'm wondering if I've applied to a dead listing that they neglected to take down, or if they're just mining for applicants.
Anyhow...
I'm also looking at taking a certificate course in emergency nursing at the local university. I'm not sure if I do want to take the plunge in the ED, but I figure the experience would be nice...especially since a friend is trying to recruit me to join him at his facility where he just got hired as a psych liaison in the ED. As it stands, I don't have enough experience for the job posting as is...maybe in a couple of years.
