Torn.. decisions

[nurselenachka]

Hi all nurses,

I am currently working as a tele nurse in a community hospital.. I just started a per diem position at a new hospital. I just completed my two week general nursing orientation and am about to start my floor orientation per diem this week.

Heres my dilemma, I just got offered a full time position at a MAGNET hospital that I plan on taking. I plan on leaving my full time position and staying on per diem. How do I go about going to leaving the per diem job I just started. I feel terrible but I got to do what's best for me.

Any suggestions, how to let my new per diem hospital know and quitting gracefully?

What's so special about MAGNET? I worked in one,it was a hellhole.

Resign from the new job ,before they give you anymore orientation. You do not have to elaborate on the reason why.
