I wanted to hear people's experience when it comes to taking to a manager/supervisor about quitting. I have only been at my current position for about 6 months and have really disliked it since about the 2nd or 3rd month. A new opportunity came up and I was offered a new job, at a better place, that is a unit I would much rather work on and I accepted. Part of the reason I dislike my current job is our manager is kind of awful, is not fair, takes sides, and gives out different information to employees. She also does not seem to care about our unit at all (we're the smaller of 2 units she oversees). How honest can/should I be with her about my reasons for leaving? I don't expect to ever come back to this unit specifically, but hate to burn bridges. Also, I'm required to give 3 weeks notice but have the opportunity to give 4 weeks. Has anyone ever been let go from a nursing job as soon as they turned in their notice?? I know it happens in the business world but I've never personally heard of a nurse being let go so quick since it's hard to find/train a new nurse to a unit.

Hi everyone! Congrats to those who recently received their acceptances! I just found out that I was accepted as well! Does anyone know someone who is currently in or has completed the program? I'm just interested to see what others think of it, like how intense the program is and if they enjoy the staff/clinicals. Any input would be greatly appreciated as I'm currently trying to decide between schools! :)

Hi everyone! I just got my acceptance the other day too :) I'm still realistically trying to figure out finances and if it will be worth it in the end vs going to another in-state school. Has anyone known new nurses who have recently been hired in the area? I want to end up around DC and have heard it's really a good way to get your foot in the door by doing clinical vs applying from the outside.
