Hey everyone! I am currently an RN in California at a University hospital in the NICU. I've only been working for about 1 year (in June) and I love it so much and am so sad that I have to leave. I was first hired in their NICU New Grad Residency Program. I feel like they taught me everything I know and I will be forever thankful for that. It really is my dream job. My fiancé is a med student and just got matched for residency on the east coast. So we will be moving right after our wedding and honeymoon in early June for a minimum of 6 years My question is.. How do I quit my job?? I think I am going to give them about 1 month notice. Do you think this is good enough? Also do I bring a letter with me or send it before? I have a supervisor and 2 managers. What is the best way to let them know? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! Rachel

Hey imthatguy! I COMPLETELY agree. I find nursing diagnoses to be such a waste of time and energy. It just goes about saying the actual medical diagnosis in a round-about manner. I think the whole medical team should be on the same page with the SAME diagnosis. Thanks so much for your input :)

Hey guys! I am currently in school to get my BSN. I heard from a friend that goes to NP school that we are doing away with all nursing diagnoses? She said that nurses will now use the medical diagnosis? I would think it would be a waste of time to spend all of this time learning how to write a nursing diagnosis if it is just going to change. I tried to research more about this and couldn't find anything. If anyone knows anything please let me know! Thanks!
