Nurse/Workplace Bullying Victim & Resignation

[Gypsynurse3]

I'm a nurse and victim of workplace bullying. I've been in my position for about five years, filing with ethics and HR after each occurrence and nothing has changed or improved. I'm hurt not only by the violence, but also that nothing has changed, and the main source of it all is management. I've recently interviewed for other positions in other facilities. Once offered a position, how do I go about writing a two weeks notice? I'm not even sure where to start or what to mention. I appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

In my resignation letters I thank them for the employment that they provided and tell them I am leaving. I let them know that I would be willing to engage in an exit interview if they desire. Otherwise I keep it polite, professional, and to the point.

I agree that it is unwise to burn bridges in today's economy.

I agree. Keep it professional and to the point. There are many templates available out there that you can customize to fit your needs. Just Google "resignation letter template". Good luck to you!

Sounds like very poor and stupid mgt. you have it in writing, and nothing has changed.

They have to act on it.

They usually like to play turn the tables and lable you , unstable , or some other crazy name,

ignoring can be a huge problem for them , when they get caught.

keep records on everything

If it's management, I'd almost want to alert their superiors to what's been going on. If that will hurt you further, I'd just say 'hey, I'm moving on to pursue another opportunity.'

Exactly this. Do not give details or burn bridges. Don't put your complaints in writing because you never know when something will come back to bite you.

It is obvious that they haven't cared about you and the issue you've presented so far, so why do you think an explanation now will make any difference to them when you resign??

They'll probably keep your resignation letter in your file. They won't want to see any reminders/evidence of their failure to resolve the problem. So they can be REALLY nasty about your exit.

Best just to say good bye like the first PP wrote.

Don't give them something negative in writing that they can use against you in the future. Believe it or not, with the passage of time and the passage of people, sometimes things get blurred and any vindictiveness held against you could be out of the picture at a time when you want a prospective employer not to get the wrong earful. That may not happen, if your negative letter is glaringly at the top of your personnel file. Boils down to "don't give them ammunition".
