May 1, 201511 yr I would let them know how much I enjoyed working under such great leadership- whether it was true, or not.
May 1, 201511 yr Short, no unnecessary details. A kind finishing thank you sentence. I think it's nice to hand it to them in person and just tell them that it's your resignation letter, while staying relaxed and kind .
May 1, 201511 yr This is my letter of resignation. My last available day will be -------. Thank you for the positive experience I've had here.That's the letter. It goes into you HR folder, probably, so it doesn't require more. It's my opinion that you should tell your boss, in person, that you are leaving, before you turn in the letter. Most bosses are at least partly happy that their staff members find something to help advance their careers or happiness.
May 1, 201511 yr I thank them for the opportunity to work there, state the last day, Sincerely Momof2BoysRN Short and sweet. I've always verbally told my immediate supervisor then given them my letter of resignation.
May 2, 201511 yr Author Thank you all. I told them today and handed the letter when they asked me to. All positive comments from my end. Of course both of my bosses had a moment of being flustered red. They were probably upset but they told me to go and grow. They are good bosses. Ofcourse the news spread like wild fire. I have to endure it till my last day. Ofcourse, I will still be providing good patient care.
