5 Questions to Ask Before You Quit Nursing

Jeff Hindenach | NursingLink


The idea of quitting a terrible nursing job must be pretty tempting. You’re thinking of all the perfect ways to tell your supervising nurse to shove it — but have you thought about the consequences? Do you know what you’re going to do after the big event? Are you prepared to just walk away from your patients as you leave your job?

Pause before you take any action. Go ahead and take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Sit for an hour or so and think about these issues before you storm into your boss’ office to quit.

    Very good advice. There are so many times where I want to just want to walk out bitbit would be dumb of me to do that. I'm taking my time and job searching for that better job. No Job is perfect but I'm looking for something better.

    I have worked for some truly ridiculous managers. Most of whom make it hard to believe that they are RNs! To me the worst kind of environment is one in which the management seems determined to 'divide and conquer'. Keeping people 'off balance' and living in fear is a very poor way to run a unit or a hospital. I have heard it all: 'You are resistant to change', 'you are not a team player' (actually I am more of a team LEADER!), etc. etc.
    Just one more reason why nurses should stick together and 'contract' with hospitals in the same way that doctors have always done.

    I think you should honor yourself and if you do not like your job, find a new one and resign with 2 weeks notice. No one should hold that against you.

    I agree that resignation should be well thought out and not done on a whim or in a moment of frustration. It is always important to avoid making enemies and burning bridges. You never know when you will work with or for those people again 10-15 years down the road. In addition, there are often times when a situation seems hard to deal with, but passes in a few weeks and gets better. Sometimes it's just a matter of using your resourses, gritting your teeth and getting through it.

    People who change jobs too often for "whiny" reasons such as poor management, don't like the people I work with, don't feel appreciated, not being promoted instead of good reasons such as being offered more pay, a higher position, or furthering my education to get a higher degree, have too many problems. Employeers will not hire the whiners because they are too much trouble.

    I have always felt that the letter of resignation carried some power. I left mylast job because the administration had no clue. However, in my letter I put that I was leaving to further my degree. This has since caught up with me as I have finished my BSN and applied to several jobs. My resignation letter was used by HR to determine that I had not just quit and was eligible for rehire (the old admin people have since left). The letter can come back to haunt or help you. It has to be written wisely.
