NURSE EXAMPLE

May 1, 2013

Ms. Sally Parker

Nurse Recruiter

Stevnson Hospital

900 Pine Street

Philadelphia, PA 19107

Dear Ms. Parker:

I am writing to express my interest in serving as an RN at Pennsylvania Hospital. I will be graduating in

May with my B.S.N. from the University of Pennsylvania. While I ideally would like to work with oncology

patients, I would strongly consider any staff nursing positions which may be available. I am willing to

work evenings, weekends, and am amenable to all shifts.

As indicated in my enclosed resume, I was employed last summer as a Nurse Extern on a

medical/surgical floor at Pennsylvania Hospital. This experience increased my nursing skills and

provided me with a broader base of clinical knowledge. This semester, I am conducting my senior

leadership experience at Pennsylvania Hospital, in the dedicated AIDS and oncology unit, where I am

gaining exposure to another outstanding aspect of your facility. Through these experiences, I have been

able to see firsthand the excellent quality of patient care, the cooperative multi-disciplinary approach,

and progressive techniques that are trademarks of Pennsylvania Hospital.

In addition to my nursing skills, I will bring to my next employer strong leadership and organizational

skills gained through my extra-curricular involvement. Balancing course work, clinical experiences, and

a work study job at Penn’s Student Health Office with my leadership position in Student Nurses at Penn

has required commitment, time management and, often, a well regarded sense of humor. Preceptors,

advisors, and supervisors have commented on my ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously while

maintaining a level of enthusiasm for the project at hand.

I would be delighted to begin my career with Pennsylvania Hospital. I will contact you the week of March

21 to see if we can arrange a mutually convenient time to meet for an interview. If you would like to

contact me, my home phone number is 215-555-4177, and my e-mail address is .

I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

Billy BB
