You may need to give more than the typical two weeks' advance notice for the safety and continuity of care for patients in some healthcare facilities. Check your employee handbook. Leaving without reasonable notice (walking off the job) puts your patients and coworkers in potential danger.
Find out what the required amount of notice is and give it (if there is no requirement, the standard practice is 2 weeks). Write your letter explaining that you are resigning--you do not have to explain why if you don't want to. Work your notice: if you are scheduled for any shifts during that time, honor them.
Consider following these steps when writing your resignation letter: Start with your contact information. Use a formal salutation. Include a statement of resignation. Incorporate a statement of gratitude. Provide reasons for leaving. Offer to assist with the transition. Close with a formal sign-off.
6 Steps for a Smooth Nursing Job Resignation Give a formal notice: Handing in a formal notice letter at least two weeks before leaving demonstrates professionalism and respect for your manager and coworkers. Check your facility's policies, as some facilities may require a longer notice period.

Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation effective immediately from my position as a department nurse. The role of a nurse is no longer sustainable for myself and my family. Nursing in the current healthcare environment is too detrimental to my mental and physical well-being for me to continue in the role.
How to Write a Resignation Letter A greeting: Start formal. A statement of resignation. Offer help with transitioning. Thank your employer for giving you a chance to be a part of their company, and for their time. Leave your contact information for your employer. Sign off with “Sincerely” or “Thank you”
You can always quit (provided you don't currently have patients) with no notice whatsoever. If you have current patients, you just have to transfer care to another nurse who will take your assignment. You don't write how long you've been there, but if you're getting a residency, I presume you have less than 1 year.
Healthcare and Nursing-type resignation letters should still follow formal letter formatting and content. Therefore they should include a formal salutation, a subject line, the sender's and recipient's name and proper job title as well as a strong body of the letter which is written in a polite and professional tone.
