2 Weeks Notice?

Davey Do · Nov 9, 2022

They wouldn't give two weeks' notice if they ended the relationship, so why should you if you're comfortable with it?

The Rubber-Stamped Responders will say something along the lines of, "Oh, nursing is a small world, and it can come back to bite you in the butt!"

Their perspective is usually based on unfounded fears not on empirical knowledge. From doing everything in my 40+ year career from giving two weeks' notice to walking out on a job, I never had a problem with ramifications or finding another position.

Go with your gut, exit96, and good luck!

I tend to agree. I've been at this awhile myself, and the world has changed a lot. Good to be a Nurse, and the current demand has made at least that part of the scene advantageous for Nurses. What I don't like is that I have to scheme on how to get my last few days of PTO from these jerks. They would likely try to withhold it. I don't want to screw over my co workers, but may have to call in for my last few shifts just to get the PTO I am due.

You're entitled to your PTO. Call in, only the amount where you don't need a doctors note if that matters, whatever your policy is, get your paid time off. It's their responsibility to get the shift covered especially if you have been treated so poorly. Just say you're not feeling well (because you really aren't), and call in.
