I quit my job

Published

I received my RN license 30 days ago. I have been working with my current job for 2.5 years. They knew when I started the program, when I finished, and when I passed boards. I am still working as an LPN with the same pay. I have never been late to work. I turn in all my paper work before its due. I have never called out. I was told that I have to complete a 4 month orientation for my RN title. This is the same job I have been working for 2.5 years. Thankfully, I received a called for my dream job but not my dream hours. I took the job. It really felt great to tell my current company I was leaving in two weeks. WOO HOO :)!

Congrats! It's a great feeling! When I was accepted to nursing school I quit my job 4 months before school started. LOL. I loved it!

So you are upset about orientation. What a big deal to attend classes and be paid for that? Evan relaxing.

Yeah...why be upset that you are an RN, but your company is paying you your previous LPN wages?

​OP, congratulations!

I'm curious if you worked for a healthcare facility that had to report its daily nursing staffing numbers for survey regulations. I'll bet you were being counted as an RN if you worked in a hosp or NH/LTC.

IF they did count you as an RN in those statistics and you have proof, they OWE you. So you might want to check that out as there may be Dept of Health or Dept of Labor violations.

It would serve that place right...

Congrats to you!

I wanted to quit my job last week due to the fact my bosses seemed to only listen to the students and not me as a new instructor's side to the story, but I was told by another student that I was inspiring another girl to keep coming to school. She said when I met you I realized it is possible to achieve my dream and become a nurse. I drove home happy that day:D
