It's a sub-acute rehab facility where they have 0 standards and will admit anyone who brings with them Medicare $$$, whether they're appropriate for SAR or not (and spoiler alert! most aren't appropriate for anything except LTC or a psych facility), and then the rehab director yells at US for not being able to literally make the most un-motivated group of patients I've ever encountered get out of bed and ready for therapy. Also I'm one of only two white people on staff and the next ******* time I hear a nasty race-based insult directed at me by a patient while the other nurses/aides cackle like it's the most hilarious ******* thing they've ever heard I'm not sure if I can refrain from saying something back that would get me fired.
I don't want to be here for another 3 months. I read my contract and it doesn't say anything about owing money if I don't complete; it just says that either party (me/the company) can end the contract with two weeks' notice. I've got a PRN job and I just want to quit this contract and pick up more shifts there. But I'm worried because I used two of my PRN supervisors as references for this contract, and I don't want to make them look bad, and I don't want this failed contract to reflect badly on me at the PRN job or have consequences there (I can't imagine how it would, but idk i'm just anxious in general).
I've never ended a contract early before so I don't know what I should say or how I should give notice - to the recruiter? or should I tell the DON first? I'm guessing it should be in writing /email so i have proof of when I sent in my notice. Is it worth it to call the recruiter and discuss the issues I'm having at this facility first, or no?

Send an email again, repeating your last day of your TWO week notice, and leave after that. That way it's in writing, and you've fulfilled your obligation to give notice, so you can leave with a clear conscience.

Thanks! That is basically what i want to do, & just wanted to ask first what other people would do in this situation. :)
