Specializes in School LVN, Peds HH.

I have been thinking about resigning. I've had a lot of issues with my agency over the last 2 months.

I looked on Craigslist just now to see what might be available in my area, and what did I find?

My exact job. Same patient. Same hours.

Resignation goes in tonight. I need to beat them to the punch. Now I'm out of a job...

Deep breaths, in and out slooowly. if you felt the need to leave this position, it was for a good reason.

There are many places to look for a position. I have had several different positions in the last 5 years. My resume is on line, and I have had a lot of offers for some of the same jobs I felt necessary to leave.

You are only Temporarily out of a job, you have a profession.:yeah:

The agency lists the city of residence, age and sex of patient, plus what kind of care he needs. All those matched up, plus my shifts (Wed-Sat night, 10 hour shifts) were the same as the listing.

I don't know which large metro area you are in, raekay, but in my area, though jobs are tight, I'm finding that quite a few nurses are coming in unqualified or can't/won't work the available hours, so the turnover is high.

Even if one agency turns you down one week keep calling back -- things can change quickly these days! Best wishes to you!
