A staff nurse at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, who has been employed for two months, submitted a 24-hour resignation despite a six-month notice bond. This resignation was not accepted, preventing the nurse from joining AIIMS Raipur due to the lack of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and relieving letter. The advice given is that employment terms and conditions, including notice periods, must be followed, and bending rules is not possible. While some rules may allow for a one-month notice, the AIIMS Bhubaneswar bond clearly states six months, which is intended to allow the employer to find a replacement.
