Dear so and so,
After much thought and prayful consideration, I find that I must resign my position effective....whenever. I have learned much and gained many friendships during my tenure at blank medical center. I look forward to my new position, but will leave with many cherished memories.
Regards,

A two week notice may not be acceptable. As professionals, we are often expected to give adequate notice to our employers to allow them to fill our positions (within reason, of course). This may mean that you will be expected to finish out the posted schedule, or whatever the policy is at your institution.
If I am unhappy with the worksite, I rarely even give a reason. If I am leaving with reservations, I always give my reason.
Something like...."Please accept my resignation from the position of ______, effective_______. I wish the _______ hospital ongoing and future success."
Gentlemen: Please be advised that I have accepted a position at another facility that is more in keeping with my long term career goals and that my last day with___________ will be _______ 2006. I want to thank everyone with whom I have worked for their guidance and assistance, and wish them continued success in their endeavors. Sincerly blah blah blah.
