How long to stay at a job you don't like?

Published

I recently started working a per diem/casual/prn job in a different hospital and I do not like it at all. There is constant staff turnover. Since I have worked there, there has been 6 different staff nurse positions and countless ancillary positions open for the unit. I'm thinking I should stick it out to the 6 month mark then turn in my resignation. Does this sound reasonable?

If you are going to just resign, then it doesn't matter how long you stick it out. Personally, I'd have another job lined up first.

Once you have a new job lined up, you are free to go.

If you are not in imminent danger, stay 6 months to a year and use the time apply for jobs that suit you better.

Try to stick it out to the magic one year mark.
