Quitting an on-call position?

Hello! I'm reposting this here because my original post had no responses.

I currently work two on-call CNA positions at the local hospital and at a nursing home. I also am starting an ADN program in September.

I'd rather work only the hospital job while in school since it pays more, is less stressful, and will give me the opportunity to work as an ICU nurse technician after my first quarter. I think I would feel overwhelmed trying to schedule additional shifts at the nursing home.

What's the proper way to quit my on-call, at-will position at the nursing home? I understand that giving a two-weeks notice is standard, but that wouldn't make sense for me since I don't have a regular schedule.

My thought is that I should schedule myself the minimum four monthly shifts for September, and tell the DON that September will be my last month of employment.

I'm a respect-kind-of guy, and I don't want to burn any bridges. Anyone have previous experience or other ideas? Or is my idea solid?

Thanks!

    A professional way to resign from a position is a nice thought out letter/email to your manager. Explain the situation, thank them for the opportunity and pleasure to work at their facility, and leave in good standing. Plus give the standard 2 week notice or whatever policy says. Good luck in school!

    It still makes sense.
