I was planning a 2 week notice after verbally being offered a new job. New employer and I agreed on a start date but because new employer was busy and delayed sending me the contract as well as having to fix some of the wording and terms on the contract, I didn't feel right or secure enough to give a 2 week notice until I had the fully written and revised contract. a few days passed and it eventually became a week later where I finally got the revised contract but we already agreed on the start date which was 2 weeks from the time that I was verbally offered the job. see comment above It's been a few days now, talked the other NPs and they said it'll be fine but didn't actually hand of any patients yet. Manager spoke to me again asking me to count how many patients I need to handoff and to write a handoff note for each of them. Manager didn't bring up the "patient abandonment" part. Maybe they realized they couldn't use it against me.

The contract is at will, employer and employee can terminate at anytime. This is my first NP job, so I’m worried since I don’t know the repercussions of leaving while still having a panel of patients, less than 20 patients seen at home visits Thank you. It’s less than 20 patients and they have more than 5-6 NPs to cover and one coming back from extended time off with no patient load currently. It was just shocking for them to throw that term out to me to stay longer

Does my manager have legal backing for claiming patient abandonment towards me? Still on probation, less than 2 months working at this company. Working in a private transitional company doing visits once a week for 1 month after hospital discharge, not as primary care provider or home health agency. I gave 1 week for letter of resignation, offering to still see patients with upcoming appointments for the next week. Appointments are made 1 week at a time. They have other NPs that can cover after I leave but manager is claiming she won't have people to cover and will report me as abandoning patients. Original job contract is at will, no notice needed for termination of employment. Making me nervous and anxious.
