Leaving a bad nursing job doesn’t have to mean leaving on bad terms. Before you quit, take some time to think it over. Make sure that it’s the right choice for you, and that you’re ready to move on.

To ensure a smooth transition, start looking for a new nursing job prior to quitting. Once you’ve decided to move on, let your boss know and give proper notice. It will show future employers that you took the time to do it the right way. When possible, end an employment situation on a positive note. It will benefit you in the long run.
