5 this is my first post (so i hope i'm doing it correctly)!! i am a fairly new nurse - 6 months employed as a nurse, to be exact. i have a good job and have fantastic co-workers! i have worked in various jobs at this hospital for 5 years, working full time while in school. i now have an opportunity to move to another state to work at a major university hospital. (i also hope to earn my graduate degree from this university.) i am planning on giving my letter of resignation next tuesday (june 1) and would really appreciate your feedback! i am giving this to my unit nurse manager and will also deliver a copy to hr. here's what i have:

dear yyy,
after much consideration it is with regret that i write this letter of resignation. although i have thoroughly enjoyed the past five years at xyz hospital, my last day will be june 18, 2010.
i am relocating to (anothertown, anotherstate) where i will be helping care for an elderly family member. i have also accepted a position at abc university medical center as a nurse resident.
i would like to take this opportunity to express my genuine appreciation to you as my supervisor, as well as many friends and colleagues here at xyz hospital. it has been a privilege and a pleasure to have served here for over five years! i appreciate the personal and professional growth i have experienced and the relationships i have established.
i hope that, if circumstances change, i will someday return to my "home" of xyz hospital!
sincerely,


thought? comments? feedback?? thanks!!!
Perfect,professional, I would add something to include you expect you accrued vacation time in your last check ( ignore this if you are union, since they will take care of that issue, and best of luck.

It's a great letter - professional, succinct. However, if I may make one suggestion, replace the exclamation point after "five years!" with a period. While exclamation points are wonderful in children's fiction and high school year books, they have no place in a professional letter.

Comment:
I could tell by reading your letter that you really enjoyed your experience and time at that hospital.I think that comes across clearly. Well Done.Good luck with your move, and your new position!

Comment:
really great! only thing: i think there should be a comma after, "after much consideration."after much consideration, it is with regret that i write this letter of resignation.

Comment:
Wow! Thanks for all your suggestions. Sometimes it's hard to keep such a personal letter professional - so the tips and comments are greatly appreciated.

NurstTrishaH ~ I had already come to the same conclusion! Thanks for reinforcing my thought process!

Excellent letter. Since you are leaving under good circumstances, I would also ask a few of your colleagues if you could use them as professional references. You stated that you already had a position with a hospital already, but it's always good to have these things sorted out beforehand.Best of luck!
