Should I disclose to my manager that I’m planning on moving?
I’ve been a nurse in a Cardiac Cath Lab for 5 years and have a pretty close relationship with my peers and manager. I’m planning on moving closer to family and have been applying to other jobs in that area. I have an interview this Friday and think I have a pretty good chance of getting the job.
I have the most seniority in my role and do a lot for the lab that others would have to learn to do if I left. My question is, do I disclose to my manager that I am planning on leaving? The training time for new employees in our area with no prior experience is 12+ weeks as we do at least 12 weeks in the Cath lab and about a month learning structural heart cases in a different lab. We are also losing a travel nurse at the beginning of July so we would be even more understaffed than if I just left.
Is it just my guilt telling me to disclose? Or would it be poor practice? I do not foresee a situation that would cause them to let me go prematurely, that just doesn’t happen in this area.
