Think of a time in which you encountered a challenging change process (personal or
professional) and answer the following questions/prompts:
• Was the change planned or unplanned?
• List the elements that made this change difficulty.
• Who were the people involved, and what were their attitudes toward the change?
• What were some lessons learned by you during the change process?
Dear Class,
I am currently going through a challenging change process as we speak. I am in the
process of transitioning from full-time OR nursing to travel nursing in addition to being in
school. I have recently just accepted a job offer in New York City last Thursday and I am
expected to move this Monday. This is both a huge personal and professional change. Although
this change was planned, the timeframe was not consistent with the original plan. I had to find
someone to take over my lease. My license to practice in the state of New York was then
delayed for 2 months and I was forced to stay in an extended stay hotel for a month. When
proposed with a job offer, I was only able to give my current job a one-week notice. This was a
very difficult decision. I wanted to give my current job as much notice as possible. Both my
manager and coworkers were taken back and left short-staffed right before the holidays.
Ultimately, I decided it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. Initially, the people I worked
with were surprised but happy and supportive later. Although many knew of my plans to
relocate, I should have had a formal talk with my manager of the situation I was in so that it was
not surprising when I was not able to give proper notice. Nursing is more than a job, it is a
profession and career choice so it is important to think of ones career as a whole when faced
with challenging circumstances.

Dear Lindsey,
Healthcare professionals continuously make sacrifices to accommodate hospital staffing
needs. These sacrifices include giving up weekends, holidays, and nights with family and friends
in order to care for patients. I have worked in an institution where self-scheduling was utilized to
try and provide a better work life-balance for employees working complicated hours. However,
the self-schedule had to be approved by management and if not approved, management would
switch requests in order to meet the unit staffing needs. This system is good in theory, but
complicated when management has pre-existing, person relationships with employees. Often,
nurses would receive favoritism over other nurses. Eventually I ended up quitting because my
requests were never honored, and my work-life balance was constantly compromised. I
understand your frustration with management and poor execution of scheduling, especially
when it impacts work-life balance.
