This blog post's purpose is to detail choices you can make to ensure a smooth exit.  \nTime Frame for Notice  \nGiving as much notice as possible is optimal in leaving a therapy position. While the standard notice is two weeks, giving more than that is preferred by leadership. If three to four weeks can be given, it will likely be more appreciated than just the two-week time frame. It is unlikely that most companies can secure a candidate for your open position in just two weeks, as clinicians that would be hired will need to give notice themselves. As a result, if you are concerned that the news will not be well received, giving as much notice as possible will help to ease the blow.  \n\"Clean Break\"  \nDeciding to not continue a relationship at any level might be the option to take when leaving a position. There may be factors involved in the decision to leave the position that would be important considerations for making a \"clean break\" and not continue in any capacity with the company after the notice has been fulfilled.  \nThe \"I'll stay on PRN\" Route  \nSome clinicians may decide to continue working for the company on a part-time or PRN capacity after leaving the company full-time; this approach tends to make it easier on coworkers when leaving a position. Continuing to work for the company on holidays or when there are over-flow needs might be an option so to \"keep the door open\" if the new opportunity does not work out as planned.  \nThe Method of Notice  \nIt is recommended that notice be given in writing, so that the effective date of notice is not an issue of discussion, but a clear-cut communication. An email or letter may be the best options, but some clinicians may desire to give verbal notice along with a formal letter at the same moment in time. Verbal-only notice is not recommended. The person who is the immediate supervisor would be the desired person to notify, but others who would directly be impacted at the same time could be carbon copied in an email, or receive a duplicate letter notice as well.  \nWhat to Include in the Resignation Notice  \nWhile it may or may not be clear the reasons for the exit from the position, it is not recommended that this be included in the formal notice. The communication should be concise, but subjects that would be  \nrecommended could also include:  \n• comments about gratitude for the opportunities that have been afforded,  \n• thankfulness for experiences gained along the way,  \n• valuable relationships that were formed will always be cherished, and,  \n• (If indicated) that you will share with others that you will refer others to the quality standards of the company.  \nAfter the Notice  \nAfter the notice is formally given, then coworkers will eventually find out that you will not be continuing with the company. Oftentimes, the question of where you will be working comes up; it is up to you if you decide you want to disclose this information. Directly letting coworkers know from yourself might be more desirable rather than hearing from the rumor-mill. Letting close-relationship individuals know how much you will miss them should aid in the transition.  \nSurviving the Last Couple of Weeks  \nFocusing on the following will aid in navigating the remaining days left in your time with company in your\"soon to be\"-former capacity:  \n• Focus on gratitude you experience that a new opportunity is coming your way  \n• Obtain con","cbCaih3yTrqOHdsV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih3yTrqOHdsV","pdf",119824,"English","# Time Frame for Notice\n## \"Clean Break\"\n## The \"I'll stay on PRN\" Route\n## The Method of Notice\n## What to Include in the Resignation Notice\n## After the Notice\n## Surviving the Last Couple of Weeks\n## Not Burning Bridges\n## Final Good-bye","[{\"question\":\"How much notice should you give when leaving a therapy position?\",\"answer\":\"The standard notice is two weeks, but giving more is preferred.
