How do you feel about the ethics of quitting a nursing job without notice. Add a comment if you so choose.

Your story is all to common lamment of nurses new to LTC nursing in a distressed facility. Please give a proper 2 week notice so you can mentally give yourself a date that your "freedom from stress" will occur rather than quiting outright. It's rare that one can't survive remaining shifts, especially since you have another evening position.
