:yeah: Congratulations! So hand in your to weeks. Get some sleep tomorrow. And keep moving onward and upward.

Advice please! I called my NM to meet with me today, she insisted we talk on the phone instead, she was at home and not coming back until Tues. She refused my 2 weeks and told me no need to show up (I am scheduled this weekend). Now I have never not given 2 weeks notice, so in my resignation letter how should I work it that I am willing to give 2 weeks but that she said not to come in? She was angry, but I gotta tell you, it seems unfair to leave the weekend staff short. I just dont want it to look like I abrubtly quit. She told me to email her the official letter.

I would still give your two weeks notice in writing. Give one to the NM and a cc to HR so you have a record of turning in your notice even though the NM is telling you not to come back at all. I think you should word the notice just the same as you would have before you spoke with her. When you turn in your copy to HR explain that you spoke to the NM by phone and she told you not to return but you are more than willing to work your scheduled hours these last two weeks.

I too think it is unfair for her to tell you not to come back just because you are leaving. Of course she isn't the one who will be working the floor when they are going to be short a nurse. I have worked with plenty of nurses after they gave their two week notice. With the exception of one nurse they were all very professional and did not bad mouth their current employer during their last two weeks. Perhaps your NM had a bad experience with someone in their last two weeks...or perhaps your NM is just a little bit childish.

Oops...forgot to add...CONGRATS on the new position!:yelclap:
