Leaving my first nursing job after receiving a better job offer. The hospital I work at now has been great but the pay is low. They cannot retain workers. The hospital is 60 miles from my house. It’s been costing me 300-400 in gas money monthly. They wouldn’t give me PRN or part-time after I got this new job so my only choice was to resign. I’ll be making $11 dollars more per hour and it is only 10 miles from my house. Still can’t help but feel guilty and worried I made a mistake.

It’s always uncomfortable to make a change. The fact is, you are worth better. Hospitals depend on us feeling this guilt so the admin doesn’t have to. Administration depends on you not bettering yourself out of fear and guilt. You will still be caring for patients but doing so in a healthier way for YOU.

If you feel that your administration does not support you then you are not working for the right organization. I am a nurse manager in a level 1 trauma center and my main goal is to transition my colleagues into roles that accomplish their goals.

This is a sign of integrity. You truly care about the facility you are leaving, and apparently enjoy working with your colleagues. However, don't feel bad for bettering yourself. With our current economic situation, the amount you will save in gas will also seem like a raise. Additionally, you will have more time for yourself/family.

Do not feel guilty !! This is your life your bills always go for the money ! As a nurse with 17 yrs you will always have crazy crap to deal with at least get paid what you want
