I am a recent graduate from the Practical Nursing Program at Carrington
College In Portland Oregon, and I am interested in obtaining the Licensed
Practical Nursing position at Avail Home Health Inc. I am especially
interested in this position because I am eager to interact with patients
when dealing with the complex clinical decisions that are a staple in the
nursing profession, and to be able to apply my critical thinking that is
required to be used daily.
I have passed my Oregon State Boards and recently became licensed in
Washington. I feel that I would be a great asset to your company because I
am a team player, I am not afraid of hard work and I have strong written
and verbal communication skills as well as the ability to prioritize
appropriately, along with great organizational skills. I worked well with
my cohorts at my previous clinical sites and took integrity in caring for
my patients I had interacted with on day to day basis.
Please call me at 360-***-****. Thank you for your time and I very much
look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Katie Plinck, LPN
