Thirty-Day Notice to Resign

Hi all. I'm in Florida and working in healthcare. My job's policy states that we are required to give a 30-day notice in order to resign.

And they imply they'll never be a reference for you and you'll never be allowed to work at the facility again if you wanted to come back. I just wanted to reach out here as I am getting ready to resign and likely have to postpone due to pre-planned PTO. However, when I do find that sweet spot, do I have any recourse at all if I end up needing one of those 30 days off for an emergency? Thank you in advance.
