So I am a new grad, about to take my boards next month and I have been working on a cardiac stepdown unit through a GN to RN residency program. for the last month The program is good and I can tell that the managers of the program really want me to succeed, BUT, the preceptor I have been assigned to work with has made it clear that she thinks I'm an idiot. When I ask her questions, she often tells me I need to stop worrying about things that don't matter and tells me I don't actually have to go and do things that policy dictates, I can go and back chart it later (without actually doing it or doing it at a much later time than it should have been done). She tells me that sometimes she wonders about me because of some of the "silly" questions that I ask her. And last week she sent me off to get drinks for the patients and change sheets while she had learning experiences with nursing students instead of me. The nurse to patient ratio is very high for this type of unit (up to 6:1) and I am really hating it there. I know that this is not the type of nursing I want to do.
All of that aside, I got and offer from a different hospital on my dream unit (where I have interned before). I want to be a midwife someday and this is the tract I need to be in to get there and the pay is significantly higher (like $6/hr more).
I have already made my decision to take the 2nd offer. I am just wondering about how I should go about quitting. I have already written a resignation letter and I am just wondering how I should go about it. Should I email the manager the letter and then call her or let her call me. how should I do this?
