Not sure whether to be honest or not in this situation. I have decided that I want to leave my job and do a masters degree. I’m planning to leave my job at the end of June, should I warn my boss now so she can start hiring? I don’t want her to be blindsided by my decision and hiring is very slow at the moment. Plus if they hire someone I can train the transition will be easier? But I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot if they were thinking or giving me a pay rise or promoting me?

I would honestly wait. I know people who have decided to pursue MBAs and let their boss know early on, only to be met with hostility for the rest of their time at the job.

Can I share my humble opinion?
MSc doesn’t matter IF and only IF you are working on the same industry you want to work on.
I believe that the XP you can get working in the industry is much more important than another degree (in most of the cases)! It’s better for your CV to have practical XP I think.

I did this in 2016. I resigned to pursue my degree abroad. I told them a month ahead, so they hired and I trained the new person. It really depends on your current relationship with your boss. Honest conversation and heads up are always good

DO NOT provide more notice that absolutely necessary. You’re likely in the UK, so you have a contract. Provide the contracted notice, no more. All employees are expendable for any reason at all times, protect yourself because your employer will not.

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
