I like this. I will give them a shorter time frame to work with. And my plan is really just to go in and talk to them about my foster care schedule and that I will need to cut back because of this.

I want to keep working there, I just can't fill the full-time commitment that they need. I am to the point though that I will quit if they can't provide the PRN option for me.

Hey y'all, Just looking for some reassurance here and advice. After two years full time with my current job, I want to go down to PRN status. I have multiple issues with my current employment status: 1. I've been sick with recurrent UTIs and easily catch other illnesses (colds, gastrointestinal bugs) since I started full time nights. I also just always seem to feel exhausted. 2. My coworker (free float charge nurse) is mostly abrasive and unapproachable. Many times my questions are met with a rude response and she will rarely come help if I need it (other nights she's nice to me, but it's just so inconsistent). 3. My husband and I are almost done with the foster care approval process and I know life is about to get much crazier with more children in our home. 4. I also have 4 school aged children that I have to take to games/practices/school events and it's difficult to on a set full time night shift schedule. The catch is that I work at a severely understaffed country hospital that has the hardest time keeping employees. I know that my other team nurse is planning on quitting soon because of the toxic environment of the charge nurse. The only reason I've stayed on full time is because I feel bad. I also don't want to quit completely because patient acuity is low and the hospital is literally two minutes from my house. What advice do y'all have for me? I was thinking of putting in a 3 month notice because it does take so long to hire people.
