I am a new graduate RN and I also have a LVN license. After job hunting for 4 months, I accepted a job working at a brand new weight loss clinic as a LVN. The owner chose me because I was "responsible, reliable, and dependable". BUT, its only 27 hours a week and is only paying me $14.50 and no benefits. I was desperate for a job, so I accepted it. The hitch is that I am the only nurse in their clinic, and without a nurse, they cannot open/operate.
My husband lost his job this weekend, so I went out job searching for something better today and was offered a position in LTC... 40+ hours, paying $24.50+ overtime.
Obviously, I am going to take the new position.... my family is depending on my income! But now I have to tell the clinic that I am quitting after just two weeks!! Since they cannot open without a nurse, I am going to give them 2 weeks notice so they can find a replacement.
I just feel like such a jerk, and I dont know what to say in my resignation letter. ..... Help!
