I currently work as a NP in an UC setting. In the agreement I signed they’re requesting a 90 day notice. I believe the agreement doesn’t have any specific punitive actions if there’s less than 90 days given and I also believe it’s an at-will agreement.

My current plan is to go back to bedside registered nursing, to a job where I wouldn’t need any 3 month credentialing. (I’m just not sure being an NP is my passion, which is a conversation for another day).

Due to this, I’m a little torn with how to proceed in giving my notice with current no job lined up.

To me, giving the notice now seems better? — if I get a job sooner than that I can always adjust the notice, or ask for an extension?

Or, do I wait until I have a legitimate offer and then give however long notice then (even if it’s 2-3 weeks).

Anyone been in a similar position with the 90 day notice and starting a new job that doesn’t require credentialing?

I don’t want to burn bridges but this is for a company I’m certain I never want to work for again.

New grad NP here, I’m about 9 months into my job as a NP in a hybrid urgent & primary care within a community health setting. It’s a high volume job with complex cases and little support and resources.

I was hoping to stick it out a year to see about where I could go to next as a NP, as urgent care was my original goal. However, 1. The job market sucks! & 2. it’s made me rethink wanting to be a NP altogether.

I’m thinking of going back to being a RN just to get out of my current job until I can perhaps be more selective with whatever NP job I land upon next.

Is there anyone here who has bounced back and forth between being a RN & NP throughout the years? I’m worried I’ll get comfortable as a RN and not ever go back to being a NP.

(If anyone can provide any specific advice, I’m currently wondering about getting some ED nursing experience before jumping back into wanting to be an urgent care NP… however I am open to any and all types of RN jobs)
