Better to Resign, or be Terminated?

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hello All,

Is it better to resign, or hold off and see if I will/won't be terminated?

I haven't done anything illegal, but i've been on suspension for a few days, because of 3-4 minor mistakes.

Thanks.

Resign then at the next interviews you can say it wasn't a good fit. If you are fired then you must explain all of those mistakes.

I think I would resign from a place that put me on suspension for minor mistakes! Nursing can be brutal, and I think they are trying to tell you something. Better to leave on your own terms, but I would certainly be looking for another position in any event.

Good catch, Rose

Suspension is a tactic used to gather more concrete information to fire a person, without leaving out any pesky missed details. I'd rather be flat out fired than put on suspension.
