It’s not legally required if you live in an employment-at-will state. Also, if you’re during orientation just send the hiring manager an email ASAP withdrawing from the position effective immediately due to X. There’s nothing they can do, except ask for wages back if it was on the contract (yes, even if it’s unethical). Good luck!
While it may not be required, think about burning bridges. Many companies are merging or buying other companies. Don't burn the bridge. Also it gives you a4 moment to secure something else
I’m a nurse too and I don’t think so. Not every place is a good fit .
I would give them notice. If it’s toxic, you have no idea what they could or would do to slather your name should it tick them off if you turn and burn. Never burn a bridge! RN of 28 years and 36 total in the medical field/54 years old. Digestive Health consultant RN
Sometimes its necessary to burn a bridge. Unless the OP lives in a very small town, its not going to matter.
Tell them now instead of lingering. That will really tick them off if you start and complete orientation, just to quit.
Good answer. Thinking about taking a school nurse job as a substitute. Any comments would be appreciated.
No, its not necessary. The 2 week notice is for the benefit of the employer 99% of the time. Your license is the most important part of the situation. If you can leave, leave. Tell them it's not a good fit, leave it off your resume and move on.
I have 27 years of nursing experience and I have left a couple of places, but what I have learned is the moment that you feel comfortable at a place, it’s time to go. They will find a way to make it difficult for you to do your job, or they will literally throw you under the bus the first chance that they get. You really have to invest in the best and as much education as possible to stay relevant in today’s nursing environment.
Sometimes, when you are new to a nursing position, things can look negative if you're looking in from the outside. That's the job you need to stick with, so you can be the one to change the direction of the workplace culture. New employees bring fresh ideas and change, which help people who have grown accustomed to repeated behaviors get acclimated. Be the ONE to create change. You are valued and appreciated. Communicate with the management. Don't allow the employees to keep you in the box.
