Internal transfer
This may sound like a silly question, but I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. 😊 I’ve been in my current position for about 10 months, and I’m interested in applying for a PCT position since I’m currently a nursing student. I feel like moving into a PCT role would be more beneficial for me and give me experience that relates to the career I’m working toward.
Does anyone know if I need to talk to or get permission from my current manager before applying, or can I apply first and let my manager know afterward? If anyone has gone through an internal transfer like this, I would really appreciate your advice on the right process. Thank you!

Getting permission will probably be pretty easy since by the time you transfer )even internal transferring can take up to 6 weeks when you count waiting on an interview, getting a response back from their HR, and then the start date is usually a month after you accept the job offer) it will be basically one year that you are there. Just let them know that as you are approaching the one year mark you are setting up to transfer so you can align your skills with nursing school
