Resign perhaps, giving your required contractual notice?
That's the usual way.
We haven't operated slavery in this country for a good few years now.

yeah sure, that was helpful
I always seek to provide a quality answer - to match the quality of the original question.
What kind of answer are you looking for?
Why do you want out - is it the job - your environment - the pay - your colleagues?

I was feeling stressed after a night shift and thinking there must be something else out there
Look, I guess it depends on what you really want to do and your personal circumstances.
Nursing as a career seems to have many options (I know nothing about it though have been involved extensively in career counselling).
Perhaps as a step you might get some impartial advice from one of the bigger specialist agencies?
This one caught my eye on a web search - its UK offices are in London though.

Even if you don't want to / intend to register, it might help to speak to someone outside the work environment but inside the profession.
But maybe you are looking to transfer from nursing completely.
Have you thought about training?

I am an RGN/RMN and have been out of 'hands on' nursing for 5 years. I am an assessor/trainer with a private training provider and I now assess Health and Social Care at levels 2, 3 and 4, Management 3 and 4, Business and Admin, IT and Customer Service. I plan my own diary, work from home, still have contact with service users but at the end of the day say goodbye and go home, without worrying I have missed something, forgotten to sign a drug sheet, or any other numerous things I used to worry about. I also have not worked a bank holiday for 5 years. A massive bonus!


Take a short break, and fly off to the sun.

It might be cheaper to wait until after half term next week.
