Desire position: Nursing education faculty position
Dear director:
As a current post-doctoral fellow and research scientist with over 26 years
experience as a registered nurse, online teaching experience, and
knowledge/experience with a variety of culturally diverse populations, I'm
well-positioned to prepare the future of nurse educators to deliver quality
care to patients and their family caregivers in a variety of settings.
Securing a faculty position will advance the mission and vision of the
university and inspire future nurses to reach for excellence in their
professional careers. I'm looking forward to interviewing for this
position.
Sincerely,
Linda Marcuccilli
