After some thought, I've decided to transfer to another hospital. (I have already been hired and start in 3 weeks). I do however love the hospital I am currently employed at and I don't want to leave completely. I've decided to go PRN. I honestly wouldn't mind working a few shifts or hours here and there, but I don't think FT is in my best interest. What is the best way/easiest way to let management know I want to continue to work there, but as PRN instead of FT? For some reason I'm dreading letting them know my plans. My current employer has been amazing to me and I hate to disappoint. Has anyone ever had this discussion? Should I talk to HR first?

I would make a note of when this happened and what happened to file for later. If this situation occurs again then I would escalate it as it is a legitimate concern. I feel like you did the right thing...maybe she also felt overwhelmed and pressured and her response was not her typical character. But again, if this occurs again, I think talking with her privately or with your management would be ideal. I am wondering if she offered to step in at any time to assist you with your patients by putting them on the monitor, starting an IV getting labs or if she was just completely unhelpful which is a definite issue to tackle.

I am wanting to transfer from my current hospital campus which is stationed in the community to the central campus downtown. There is a position open that is perfect for me. I am worried because I don't want my current manager to know what I'm doing. I'd rather put in an application, get the job and then let him know I'm transferring. Does requesting a transfer within the same hospital system automatically go to your manager? I'm afraid to apply because I don't want him to question me or worse fire me for wanting to leave. I know that my current place is short handed and I don't want to upset anyone. Are any applications I do within the system private until I choose to divulge it to my superiors?
