I am happy to be going to a nicer facility, even though it will be $1.25 pay cut per hour and guaranteed less hours, but they also said I could pick up an extra day or two to make a full work week if I wanted, guaranteed 8 days per pay, where I was guaranteed 9 days per pay for a $1.50 more an hour at the crappy place, HOWEVER, my health, my sanity, my license, and my conscience and hopefully lower/different stress/anger level will be MORE than worth that $1.50 an hour more and extra day in a pay period... I can see this place depressing me already... and I have barely been there a month.

Not worth it... I like to work... when the facility wants their workers to work and gives them what they need to do so... I was shown the supply rooms for this new facility - HOLY COW ITS LIKE A SUPPLY WAREHOUSE COMPARED TO WHAT I HAD AT THE OTHER FACILITY!!!!I actually asked the DON giving me the tour, "Seriously, this is all available for me to use for treatments without me having to beg borrow and steal from other units or make up dressings???" Sad isnt it??

I resign in a professional manner with a written letter of resignation. Can be done for a no notice resignation just as easily as for a maximum notice resignation.

You should finish your last shift. You dont want to risk your license or your reputation. You may need a reference or employment verification from them some day. If you ever take a Gov't job, they go back 7 years (everywhere you've worked, everywhere you lived).

How much of the reasons would you list in your resignation letter? or would you lay it all on the line and tell them exactly what you are resigning?

[netglow, ASN, RN]

I'd call now, let them know you are resigning. You just don't want to be acused of leaving them without time to call someone else to cover. Don't tell them you have another job. Not a thing. Say thank you for the opportunity. No need to give a reason. Follow up with a letter, or email. All it has to say is that you are writing in reference to your telephone conversation with X, at Xtime, Xdate during which you informed X and Xfacility of your resignation. Thank you for the opportunity to work with Xfacility. If you email, cc it to yourself. If you snail mail the letter, certify it.

No need to tell them why, they know. Nobody cares that you are leaving except that they need to staff your shift. Really. Remember there will always be another nurse...

[slackula]

I would just write in the letter that you have found another job. Believe me they know why your leaving.

No need to tell them why, they know. Nobody cares that you are leaving except that they need to staff your shift. Really. Remember there will always be another nurse...

What they will care about is the fact that you left them with no chance to find a replacement for the shift. That will speak for itself when they are contacted about your employment there.
