So I have worked as a PCT in a ICU for 3 years now. Recently I was offered a position for ER tech in another hospital. (better pay and better benefits)This is the first time I need to tell an employer I'm leaving so what is the proper way to go about it? I know i need to give at least 2 weeks notice, which is ok because I don't start orientation for the new job until mid september.Also I would like to stay on per diem at the current employer.

CVmursenary 240 Posts Specializes in Cardiothoracic ICU. Has 1 years experience. Aug 15, 2011 well it could be more like a 4 weeks notice considering you dont have to start till mid-september. Hopefully you have a good reputation there and they will keep you around.

Hopefully you have a good reputation there and they will keep you around.A good name is better than silver or good.A good reputation is MAJOR, plus you have good work ethics and abide by standards, they will make room for you and be more accepting.Most people don't realise how much reputation counts, until they need something. Forget that I can be a shrew() sometimes and do it on purpose, a good reputation is major.
