Wording for Resigning

Perfect!

Tempting to write "See ya!". But you're smart for wanting to be diplomatic.

Dear _________________

I am informing you that I am resigning my prn position effective ____________. I had really hoped to be able to stay on and provide coverage, but am finding myself overextended.

Kind regards,

Missmaddie

While yes, it would be smart to be diplomatic, let me present the other side of the coin.

If the new job is going well, and you are very certain you'll be there awhile, you'll likely never the old employer as a job reference. So, the "see ya" note with no 2 week notice would work for me!

I would resign using the letter above and I would make it effective following the weekend when you're scheduled. Regardless of how the director behaved, how are you going to behave? What kind of reputation do you want to create?

You can still tell her you are leaving because of the disrespectful treatment, you can even put it in the letter and forward to HR, but I'd rather have a stellar reputation despite how poorly other people behave.

Manager is a class act. You are PRN. You cannot be SCHEDULED for anything. Your resignation from your full time position is satisfactory.

Oooohh I'd be sooooo tempted to reference our differing pt safety philosophies: they think it's good practice for nurses to work while sick, and you disagree.

It is probably wiser to be diplomatic though. I've generally worded mine something to the effect of: "Dear Manager: I will be resigning my position with Acme Nursing effective MM/DD/YYYY. I thank you for the opportunity to work with you and wish you all my best. Sincerely, HIS." Personally I wouldn't add the part about being overextended...it wouldn't be wrong, but it is none of their business.

Congratulations on the new position! Your manager sounds like someone you'd do well to part ways with.

I would be diplomatic in your letter. Nursing is a very small world, and people job hop all the time so you never know when someone from Job 1 will show up at Job 2 (or future Job 3, 4...etc) I would say something like "Dear soand so, I am writing to inform you that I am officially resigning from XYZ job. As ou are aware, I have found other employment and we had discussed my staying on her on a per diem basis. As I've enjoyed my time working here, I was hopeful that this would be a mutually agreeable arrangement, but I have come to accept that there are limitations on my time and I am unable to fulfill the every other weekend requirement."

" To whom it may concern,

Smell ya later bittttcccccchhhhheeeeeesssss!!!

With love,

-MissMaddie. "

Lol just kidding. Please don't say that.

Tricia J has given you great advice.

LOL! This made my night! Haha

thank you!

You do not need a reason to resign. Just resign and keep it professional. If they care to know why, then they will offer an exit interview.

Agree with above. Do not put a reason down. Do give 2 weeks notice.

I once wrote

'My time here has been a learning and growing experience. I learned that this is a terrible place to work and grew to hate it.'

True story. It was almost 30 years ago and I STILL show up as a do not rehire in their system!
