Give a month's notice or standard two week?

They also know you will be leaving and things change after that, people will treat you differently. Human nature.

If they need your help longer, you can offer that.

Oh, it's already detaching.

Unless you have a contractual (or legal) obligation or have patients (which if you did , I doubt you'd be asking), give two weeks only if it benefits you. If you will be let go the same day and need $$ to make it to start date, do what works for you.

If you financially can make it if they let you go immediately, give two weeks so you can say you tried to give two week.

Or as it's "at will" can turn around and fire her immediately and walk her out with her possessions in a box.

I wouldn't give a minute more than 2 weeks, which is more than generous given it's a stressful environment and she's been there less than a year.

Sounds logical. "I'd like to give you a month's notice as I am going to work for Company XYZ down the street."

"You're fired."

Just leave when you're ready. My last job I gave four days because it was covenient for me. If you hate it, why stay longer than you want? Your time is too valuable to waste. You don't get a notice when they lay you off...nope, they just dismiss you.
