This is to formally inform you of my resignation effective January 5, 2015. In this light, I would like to have my privilege and right to use my remaining VLs and CHOs,before my effectivity date which begins on December 11, 2014 onwards which also means adjustments in your schedule. I have been a staff nurse of SLMC for 7 years and I can say that within that period I have served this institution fairly well, sacrificing my time with family. I have been given a choice to refund my unused VLs but I refused to use that option because at this point I prioritize quality time with my family as I will be away for years, and this is my only chance to be with them especially this yuletide season. A stat resignation is another pick but I put that alternative at the very least because I would want to end my term amicably. For the past years, I have seen colleagues leave with ease as I am one of the staff who give way to their last duty requests. Now that mine has come I would like to expect the same but circumstances prevent me from having it and so the creation of this letter, a requirement, as I was told. As my last contribution, I have participated in the minor revision of your timetable and it is timely that 3 of our colleagues from the BMT will be joining our unit for the rest of this month, and apparently, enough to fill my singular slot. But since the latter have a fixed schedule, additional overtimes, in some days, are unavoidable but , in my opinion, bearable. I agreed to come up with this letter not only because it is required, neither it is to beg for you to allow changes in your schedule, but to inform you beforehand of the possibilities that may take part when I leave. There will be a time in your career that you will come across the same situation, and you would not want your privilege to be withdrawn from you, then you might write a letter like this to avoid predicaments. If you agree to whatever the content of this note then you may want to affix your signature below. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone, from the staff to the nursing aides, for making my last duty days endurable. The past years had been fantastic, albeit the isolated issues. We all have our differences but we are one in many ways. We might not top the 'charts' but I believe, compared to others, we have touched our patient's hearts. There is nothing more fulfilling in a nurse's life than to be beside patients in the best and worst days of their lifetime. We work to serve people who have the slightest hope and with that little light we try to perk up their days, whatever their prognosis are. As oncology nurses, that is what we are. A trait like no other. Far from what others see our unit as pure administration of a chemotherapy. It was a pleasure working with you and again from the bottom of my heart, thank you. May you continue to work hand in hand as a 'team'. May you practice your rights and put yourselves and the things left behind where it should be. I wish everyone success in your future endeavors and I hope to work with you again in another time. Sincerely,
