Quitting without a notice

[turnforthenurse]

I'm looking for some advice on this.

I currently have an interview coming up and if I feel like the place is the right fit for me and they offer me the job, I will take it in a heartbeat.

I haven't given my 2 week notice to my current employer yet. I'm waiting until I have something lined up before doing so. I don't think I can last another 2 weeks at my current place of employment. Staffing issues are a problem everywhere but I have been placed in unsafe situations where I am taking care of very high acuity patients that is putting my license in jeopardy. There a bunch of other reasons as well but that is the number one reason why I want to quit without notice.

So would you quit in my situation? Have you ever quit without a notice? I know they say to never burn your bridges but I highly doubt I will be working for this company ever again.

Thanks!

As someone who has been on the other side, I don't want to hire someone who wouldn't give notice to their current job. If you'll run out on one employer, you will do it to me.

Your new employer will probably think more highly of you if you give a 2 week notice to the employer you are leaving because they know they might eventually be on the receiving end of the "no notice" thing being done to them. Either way, good luck!!!

So what happens when you quit and they don't offer you the job.. or they offer and you don't have it in writing and they change their mind or you don't pass a test ...

I wouldn't want to burn a bridge in the medical field because those in the same area talk.

I would NEVER leave a job without 2 weeks notice and yes you can make it another 2 weeks. If this new job wants you bad enough they will understand you have to give 2 weeks notice. I've seen plenty of nurses leave without giving notice and they completely burn their bridges. If you consider yourself a professional nurse then you would do the right thing by giving notice. I personally would never just quit on a job without notice.

That was my exact thought! í ½í±
