Dear_________________________:

 

I am currently seeking a challenging Staff RN opportunity and am eager to be considered for a position with your hospital. To acquaint you with my qualifications, I am submitting my resume for review; in advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

As demonstrated, I earned my RN credentials in 2009 and have since been working as a Field Nurse Coordinator with Jewish Home LifeCare HAPI. My prior Internship and Clinical Rotations spanned Medical Surgical, Psych/Mental Health, Maternal, and Pediatric nursing.  I am particularly interested in the Geriatric Nursing field, and will be actively pursuing a BSN in that specialty beginning in the Fall of this year. 

             

As an RN, you will find that I am patient-focused professional strongly committed to delivering quality holistic nursing care. I am confident that I could be a valuable asset to your hospital and your patients as a dynamic staff member, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

 

Sincerely,
