Stressed out Student Nurse Needs Advice About Calling Out of Work During Two Weeks Period

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

Hey everyone! I just need everyone's opinion on calling out during your notice period. I'm currently a full time student and have become so stressed out between work and school that I've had to put in my two weeks notice. Now, my last day is coming up and I'm really behind in my studies between clinical rotations, work, mandatory volunteering, etc. that working my last shift is really causing me to wonder how much crucial study time I'm losing. I totally understand it's unprofessional calling out on my last day, but I'm really torn. My grades are slipping and whatever study time I can get I need. My boss has already told me I'm eligible for re-hire but would this ruin things? Also just to paint a picture of my higher ups...They didn't fire an employee after four no call no shows, and I couldn't get a hold of my manager to put in my notice so I had to send an email ( no one can ever get a hold of her).

Sorry for the wall of text. I appreciate anyone's input!

Rehireablility depends on facility policy. Many will have a policy that calling out during the period between giving notice and the last day will revoke eligible for rehire status. Is that something you'd be willing to risk over a single shift? if your facility does have such a policy?

Can you call around and cover the shift yourself ?
