What would you do in this situation?

[Bean0621]

Im a military spouse and we just came down with orders to move overseas mid July. Im currently on orientation on a med surg floor and I am off orientation end of May. I would need to stop working by mid June to start clearing out and preparing for our move. My issue is, I don't want to get off orientation just to work on the floor for 2 weeks LOL it just doesnt seem to make much sense to me. How can I go about talking to my manager on what the best route to do? I was thinking of maybe just offering to help out here and there when they need it. For instance, we have a lot of pt’s who need a 1 on 1 and that is taking techs and nurses away so im thinking of offering to help in that way until I can no longer work? Any advice is much appreciated!

Some probably will disagree, but my issue would be continuing the orientation (which is an employee status specifically tied to the pretense of working independently following the orientation) knowing that you can't even put in a full month's work following the orientation. That is asking them to experience additional losses over a  situation you are already aware of.  In such a case I really don't think that is fair to the employer and I would feel compelled to inform them.

It's unfortunate, though, as they have neither an obligation nor a good reason to pay you whatever you are making as an RN orientee to do CNA/tech work. I would be pleasantly surprised if they don't just ask you to resign. But--anything's possible so if I were in your position I would probably make an offer something like the one you're talking about and hope for the best (plan for the worst).

Good luck ~

Yes that was my issue ? I didn’t want to essentially waste anyone’s time and the company’s money for no reason. It sucks, but its military. Thanks for the advice!
