Attention: Acute Care Nursing Internships

1120 N.W. 20

, Suite 111

Portland, Oregon, 97209

I am writing to express my interest in joining the Legacy nursing team through an acute care internship

position. I will be graduating in May with my B.S.N. from Linfield College. I hope to focus on adult health,

and I would be open to any of the related acute care internship positions.

It is satisfying for me to work with others to effect positive change in the community. Through nursing I

hope to achieve my personal and professional goals at local and global levels. While serving in the Peace

Corps in the Republic of Moldova, I developed a heart for nursing. At the time I taught health. I realized that

as a nurse I could be an even greater asset to my students and neighbors. Most Moldovan toasts begin with,

“In primul rind, sanatate”, or “In the first place, to health.” I gained the insight during my time abroad, that

without health a person has great difficulty attaining a substantial quality of life.

At Linfield I have developed a strong foundation in nursing concepts and principles including; client-

centered, holistic care, group dynamics and emotional intelligence, shared governance, and the need for

flexibility. I think critically and work collaboratively with my clients and other health care professionals.

I have cultivated communication skills that improved the quality of my patient care and my ability to

participate meaningfully in team processes.

I believe that my skills and values are well suited to those held by Legacy Health System. We concur that

our primary focus needs to be client dignity, privacy, and excellence of care; and that the existing climate of

change should be matched by an organizational culture committed to learning and innovation. During a

rotation at the Rehab Institute of Oregon (RIO) this past fall, I was impressed with the high level of

accountability demonstrated by staff. I was accepted as part of the team and experienced a “good fit” within

the system. I am convinced that I would thrive as a Legacy RN, and that Legacy Health System would gain

from having me as part of the team.

I would be delighted to begin my nursing career with Legacy. I look forward to the opportunity to interview

with you this spring. Please feel free to contact me at my home/cell phone number phone number, or via e-

mail at email address. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I hope we will have the

chance to meet very soon.

Sincerely,
