but what i am saying is not leaving them empty handed in the middle of a shift. to be quite honest, let me be really straight forward here. i have given my 3 week notice and have worked it out very diligently. But I have one more day left to work for this employer. The last day I worked was absolutely one of the worst ever. I would not like to get into details over this thread about the situation, but it put patients in jeaopody. I have one day left and that is a couple of days from now. I want to call in on my last day because the same charge nurse will be working and I know she will give it to me really bad the entire 12 hours. I don't want to loose my license over not going in or calling off, but I don't want to jeapordize my patients safety and my RN license by going either. I am really in a bad situation here. thank you for your help, and if you have further advice, I will be happy to listen.

thank you for your response but one more question. can they report you to the board of nursing for not working out a notice? Or do you only have to worry about a bad reference? thanx for your help and advice

I thought patient abandoment was only if you had a patient assignment. If you just quit, and you don't go in, you are not given an assignment. Is there something I am missing here? Please enlighten me because I am truly curious. Are you trying to say that everyone else in this country and society can quit their jobs at a moments notice. But we can't just be at home and decide THAT IS IT and call up and say I won't be back. How can this be considered abandonment? Please respond and thank you for your input.

when you went through human anatomy, you probably learned about sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Read those chapters again if you still have your books. It will refresh your memory on those two systems. Then, when you are studying your drugs, try to associate the drug with one of the two systems by deductive reasoning. It all makes sense but you have to give it some time. It will be okay --- you will get it.

:chuckle

curious, but i was reading about the shortest time worked in another thread, and I am interested in knowing what the shortest notice every gave as well. I don't understand why some people gave 2 week notices on the first day and some people gave 2 weeks after working 2 weeks. what can happen for not working out a notice other than a bad reference? Just curious.
