RE: Psychiatric Pediatric Nurse, 2013-17 CRC

Dear Hiring Professional,

I'm contacting you in regards to the Psychiatric Pediatric Nurse position available at Children's Recovery

Center, advertised on Craigslist on July 8th, 2013. With my current experience as a charge nurse on a

pediatric psychiatric unit along with my passion for this specialty, I am very interested in further

particulars and being provided the opportunity to interview for the position.

My relevant qualifications include my Bachelors of Science in Nursing and my most recent position as a

registered nurse for Integris Mental Health. In this role, I am responsible for providing direct care to

fifteen patients with varying levels of acuity. I collaborate with the physician, therapists, and mental

health workers to establish and maintain a therapeutic environment for the patients while also assisting

them in attaining their treatment goals. Also, I ensure the safety of patients and staff which is a top

priority in the mental health setting. Furthermore, I directly supervise all unlicensed personnel and assist

in training new mental health workers and registered nurses.

With my acquired skills and my dedication to making a difference in the lives of children struggling with

mental illness, I can be a valuable addition to the Children's Recovery Center and the Oklahoma

Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services. I would like the opportunity to interview and

tour the facility at your earliest convenience.

Thank you in advance for your time. I look forward to your call.

Best Regards,

Lyndsey Tillman, RN, BSN
