Any tips how I can do this properly? I only been working for 1 month and I cant find answers to stay in the facility. i know i have to give a 2 weeks notice but I want to get out immediately. Any tips how I can do this professionally? Thanks!

This is true I'm going threw it now...i was hired and it was so bad i could not bear it. I gave one week notice and i'm now on a do not hire list. I only worked 2 weeks. Now I'm being turned away I've had about 20 interviews and getting different reasons why they won't hire me..i was told to go to the eeoc..

If you were still in your probation period, you could end employment for any reason, or no reason. So I would get that clear as far as "do not rehire" vs. leaving in your probation period.

Do not rehire means that you will not be able to work for any facility within the parent company. For some, that could be just about any single facility in a 50 mile radius.

I would be clear however, that you are portraying this experience as "I terminated my employment during my probationary period, as it was not a good fit" rather than "I quit because the place sucked"

Good luck moving forward.

Then you need to have enough savings to carry you through until you land another job.

Well, think about that? What do you THINK can happen?

By the way, you are a new grad and you call yourself "hero nurse"? What's up with that?

OP, you are going to have a hard time getting any kind of reference when you leave on such short notice. I would, like everyone else here, highly encourage you to give two weeks notice. It is the most professional and respectful thing to do. I would also reiterate what a prior poster stated and let your manager/supervisor know that you feel as though you are drowning and can't keep up... this is for your safety, for pt safety, and for the benefit of the person who fills your position. You can make it, just take it day by day and use this as a learning experience. Best of luck.

Well, if you are living in an area with a nursing shortage or are an LPN in an area that has moved away from LPN's, you are up a creek. I hope you have substantial savings.

As you can at any time during your employment, absent a contract delineating terms of employment. However, if you leave without giving appropriate notice, regardless of whether in a probationary period or not, the employer can still list you as ineligible for rehire.

Do not rehire means that you will not be able to work for any facility within the parent company. For some, that could be just about any single facility in a 50 mile radius.

It might have considerable bearing when applying elsewhere as well. Depending upon the job market in her or his area, a potential hiring manager might see this as a huge red flag.

Once again, the not a good fit” card is played. Many seem to think that this is some magic bullet that is going to make everything go away. If you use this, make sure that you have thought long about why it wasn't a good fit, what you did to improve the fit, and what you are going to do going forward in a new position. And be prepared to answer many probing questions detailing exactly why it wasn't a good fit.

If you are going to give them one week, you can give them the second week; this will help ensure that you leave on good terms. If it were me, I would not quit without having another job in place, and then would give appropriate notice.

Best of luck to you in whatever course you choose.

EEOC handles discrimination against an employee on the basis of gender, disability, veterans status, age if over 40, pregnancy, national origin, religion, citizenship, genetic information. It does not cover being placed on do not rehire status because an employee left a job with insufficient notice/walked off a job. Under what protected category do you think your scenario falls? It's 100% legal for your former employer to state you are ineligible for rehire because you left the job after two weeks with insufficient notice as long as it's true. And prospective employers have the right to be wary of hiring a potential employee who only worked 2 weeks and left their prior job.
