Day surgery isn't hard work. At least it wasn't for me. I was so bored I wound up unfolding all the sheets and blankets and refolding them so the corners met perfectly.

From the ACAS website (this is the same wording as what i was told is legal from my place of employment)

Both you and your employer are normally entitled to a minimum period of notice of termination of employment. After one month's employment, you must give your employer at least one week's notice; this minimum is unaffected by longer service. Your employer must give you:

* at least one week's notice after one month's employment
* two weeks after two years
* three weeks after three years and so on up to 12 weeks after 12 years or more

However, you and your employer will be entitled to a longer period of notice than the statutory minimum if this is provided for in the contract of employment.

Most employees, subject to certain conditions, are entitled to certain payments during the statutory notice period. You can waive their right to notice or to payment in lieu of notice. Your employer can also waive their right to notice.

In short you dont have to give notice given how long you've worked there. If you can stand it i'd suggest giving a week's notice as a guesture of goodwill

So why was i told a full month in writing. I know ahe wsn't impressed when I told her I wasn't enjoying it but she must know I have not signed a contract yet!

Perhaps she's taking the mick? Was that the ward manager or someone from nursing admin who told you that?
