What to include in a resignation letter A salutation. You can use a general salutation for business letters, such as the person's first and last name ("Dear Jane Smith"). Your intention and departure date. Your reason(s) for leaving. A thank you. An offer to assist in the transition. Your contact information.
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.
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.
Like with more advanced nurses, common causes for leaving include stressful working conditions, lack of leadership and supervision, and understaffed facilities. Those factors get amplified for nurses still familiarizing themselves with the demands of the job.
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.

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.
To give yourself a smooth exit, tell your boss you're leaving before you tell anyone else. One way to do this is to ask for a meeting with your boss, tell them your plans, and give them a physical copy of your resignation letter at that time. (After the meeting, email your letter to them, as well.)
