My district has been great to me so I really want to leave on the best terms possible. They already know that I am training for my new position (in skilled nursing) and have allowed me some flexibility in scheduling to accomodate that. Initially, I had planned to work on call at my new job while continuing to work at the school for the remainder of the school year. Well, I have found out that a full time position may become available much sooner than this so I have decided not to return after spring break. If I submit my resignation Monday then this will give the school 4 weeks notice. I would like a little help wording and formatting my letter of resignation. There are a few points I want to address: 1) my letter needs to go to two specific people - our district RN and our HR director. I'm not sure how to professionally address the letter to both, or do I do two different letters? 2) I want my last day of employment to be 4/18 (technically this is a vacation day - last day of SB) 3) I would like to make myself available on an on call basis from 4/18-5/31 in order to help orient/train my replacement. We are in a very rural area and I know it is difficult to find an RN willing to commute here for low pay and minimal benefits. It's very important to me not to leave the school high and dry, but it's also important that I make my new job a priority after 4/18. 4) Aside from expressing my gratitude for the opportunity to work and the experience I've gained while here, what else do I say? I really appreciate any help/guidance you can lend with this. I'm fairly eloquent and able to express myself well in writing, but I really could use a hand getting started on this. THANKS in advance!

Oh - and CONGRATULATIONS!

First thing first, **HUGS**! I am 34 weeks pregnant, and planning for my maternity leave as well. This thread is very helpful to me. So far my sub folder contains: -Contact list: includes names, phone numbers, and emails for important contacts such as myself, other RNs in the district, the district RN, etc. -My daily schedule, which includes blood sugar checks, insulin administration, and medication administration. -Simple instructions on use of our computer charting system. -Information on Diabetics -A list of students with medical conditions, which directs them to my binder of IHPS (health plans). -County Office of Education School First Aid Guidelines. I plan to do much more but I figure if I have to leave work earlier than planned that a sub would do fine with the information I have provided thus far. I will be using this post as a reference as I finish preparing my sub binder!
