Throwaway11

I talked to my director. He said he would try to keep me PRN. HR said no way. So I quit entirely. Was not expected to come back. Overall it went smooth. Will miss my co workers. I am happy with my new facility. $12 more per hour, better benefits, set schedule and as much overtime as I can handle. Oh and half the work. I feel I made a great decision.

I'll have an update on Friday.

I plan on talking to management next week about my situation. It would be great to stay on PRN but I don't think that is a possibility. It was like pulling teeth to get the starting pay that I did get. So there is absolutely no way that they will match pay. I think these last few shifts have changed my perspective on staying though. I have pretty much on my own as far as patients go since starting orientation. These last few shifts have made me feel as if I am making the right decision about moving on. There has been very little guidance from my preceptor. I definitely feel as if I'm not getting the training that I need here.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. To add a little more to the story, I have been employed with the current employer for years now in other capacities. So it's a little different then someone that just started working there. I am glad that I am not the only that has quit a new grad position for higher pay etc... The pay difference is not the only reason that I want to leave but is a huge factor. I think I will have a chat with my manager and see how it goes.

Hello, I would like some opinions. I am currently on orientation but was offered a new job elsewhere. The new job pays considerably more. I'm a new grad RN but have extensive experience in other aspects of healthcare. I will not go into further detail about that. I don't think I will be able to give proper notice to current employer. What is the best way to notify current employer? I'm pretty sure I will not just be burning this bridge but blowing it up. I am overall satisfied with current employer but cannot pass up this new opportunity. Any ideas? There is more to this whole thing but I don't want to go into extensive detail for fear of being recognized. Thank you all.
