I am just writing to confirm the schedule change date in regards to my position as a registered nurse at ABC Family Health Clinic.

My last day on the full-time schedule will be May 8, 2014. I appreciate all of your ongoing patience and cooperation with me.

I regret any inconvenience that may result from this change. If there is anything I can do, I would be happy to oblige. I will of course work as hard as always during my last week on the full-time schedule, and put forth all efforts to do well in PRN work. If any clarification is needed in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (555)-555-5555 or [email] and I will return all messages as soon as possible.

Working at ABC Family Health Clinic has been a great experience for me and I am very thankful that I will be able to retain my job there in a PRN capacity. When I am able to take care of my family well, I will also be better able to serve the clinic’s patients well. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
