Best Way to Resign -

Nurses Professionalism

Published

I posted recently about resigning full-time ER position, but want to be per diem. The problem is I've only been there 5 months. The consensus here was that I do not have enough ER experience to ask for per diem.

Now I have a new question. There is now a posting for a Per Diem ER nurse. We have had about 4 nurses recently leave, and there are postings for full-time, part-time, and per diem.

This makes me think it's more appropriate for me to ask for a position that's posted. I'm assuming they're not being so particular if they're posting.

And is resigning full-time, then asking if I can fill the per diem appropriate? Or should I just ask if I can go per diem without resigning?

Thank You, Appreciate your wisdom

You are not resigning , you are changing your hours.

Apparently , there is a variety of hours available and changing your status should be straight forward. Doing that could depend on management and or HR. I've seen situations where they get snippy about decreasing your hours , instead of appreciating what you are willing to give them.

Do not resign, request a change of hours.

Good luck, let us know how it went.

I agree with above, DO NOT RESIGN, just talk with your manager and see if you can change from FT to Per Diem

Update....There was a per diem position posted, I asked NM if I could apply for it, he said that I certainly could. So I am now per diem ER, full-time school nurse....couldn't be happier.

Thank You so much
