Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a highly motivated Licensed Practical Nurse with several years of practical experience and hands
on skills in low to high-level care of patients; and in the competent support of clinical operations. In
addition to exceptional nursing, I am also acknowledged for being resourceful, adaptable and self-directed
with the ability to handle even the most challenging situations as a result of well-developed
communication skills and organization capabilities. Being a travel nurse allows me an opportunity to
deliver quality hands on care to my clients and staff.
Recognized as a competent healthcare professional who knows how to develop and maintain excellent
working relationships with physician, staff, patients and their families. I am also a critical thinker who can
quickly learn new systems, develop expertise, and produce significant contributions. To that end I am now
seeking to align my experience and my skill with an organization that is looking for talented nurses that
know how to deliver outstanding patient care.
I have enclosed my resume for your review. Some of the key strengths I can offer include:
• Proficient in nursing care and healthcare delivery with an emphasis on high quality medical care
and positive human interaction, the holistic nursing care approach.
• Exceptional, supervisorial, interpersonal, and communication skills with the experience required
to remain highly focused and self-possessed in fast-paced, high-stressed environments.
• Solid background and training in areas where technical expertise and administration, organization
and interpersonal commutation, motivation, and management are required.
• Tested experience in a variety of hospital/medical settings with the ability to put patients at ease,
make them comfortable when they are feeling anxious and elicit cooperation from people under
less than ideal circumstances.
• Excellent organizational, and time- management, and communication skills with the flexibility
and experience required to adjust to rapidly changing schedules and frequently shift priorities.
I desire an opportunity to assist you and your company in accomplishing your immediate goals regarding
your current need. Of course, you can contact me directly at anytime. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Thelma Westbrook, LPN
