Leaving a Position during Orientation

Published

So, I am a new grad nurse leaving my job during orientation to pursue another job at a different hospital. This hospital is not the right fit for me. My question is if I put in my two weeks will they tell me just not to come in since I am still training on the unit or will they make me work the two weeks? i just think it would be weird to continue training in a place I am not staying. Also, I’m in a union hospital so I’m not sure if that means anything or since I am in a union they have to maybe let me work the two weeks? Also, if I am resigning from my position do I have to submit a form or something with the union or just with my manager and hr? Thanks

Never have I ever had to work out a notice while still on orientation. It just doesn't make sense, since you're still training "under" someone and not on the schedule by yourself.

Not sure how it works in orientation, but nurses usually give 30 days.

Remember nursing is a really small world, but it sounds like this is a done deal.

Someone once told me "The grass is always greener on the other side because there is more **** (crap) there" ?
