Asking the newbie question ... I’ve been at the same agency I got my start in for 2.5 years now. Just got an offer for a heck of a lot more money and the new experience I was looking for.
How do I put in my notice?
It feels especially strange in ZOOM world...

Appreciate any advice on navigating order of operations with 3 different bosses and HR

Eric Silver’s resignation letter:

I set up a meeting with my direct boss 1:1 to tell her via Zoom chat, then my group director 1:1 right after that.

Then they’ll probably ask you to draft a formal resignation letter via email to send off to HR.

Agreed with the above- you don’t need to start the process with an official letter, that’s just something you’ll send to make things official after telling your boss. It would include something like “my last official day is x” just to have in writing.

When you talk to your boss, especially if it has been a good experience, just speak from the heart and say while you’ve loved your time and learned a lot, you’ve been offered an opportunity that will be great for your continued growth. They will likely be happy for you.

Also- never forget that it’s all business, never personal.

Whatever you do, do NOT send a “condolences card” stating your last day and saying “you’re so sorry for the agency’s loss.”

This crosses my mind every time... I hope it helps! 😁

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?
