PRN CNA with for Home Health

[Tata]

Hello

 I work for a home health agency in Mississippi. I am a CNA hired for a PRN position. My question is do I have to put in a two weeks notice before I leave this company? My reason for wanting to leave is I was told when I got hired they would alway contact me before adding patients to my schedule. They have never called me they just addedpatients. On Friday evening after I refreshed my tablet I found out I have 15 patients to see next week after I get off my regular job. This is to much for me I don’t know what to do please help me.

Always give 2 weeks notice when leaving a job.   Prior to making the decision to submit resignation, can you call a Manager, explain 15 patients too much and ask for reduced schedule. If they are unable to work with you, then submit notice.   "PRN" = as needed, means different things in HH agencies.  

Some agencies permit the HHA to submit days/times they are able to work, and # clients they can see. While others, just assign you clients on days patients want to be seen.  

Hope you can find an agency that will work with you.
