Greetings to my prospective employer. My name is Michelle West and I am looking for full time employment with your company. I have been an Licensed Practical Nurse for the past 21 yrs since graduating from CloverPark Tech College in 1991. I have also worked in various fields in the medical arena including Long Term Care, US Army, Chemical Dependency, Corrections, and Pediatric Home Health. I have been certified in the past for IV, Central and PICC Line care and access. In addition to holding a license in Washington State, I have also held licenses in North Carolina and Tennessee. I am a friendly person to be around and work with. I'm very calm under pressure. I seek out ways to enhance my skills and further my education. I ask for and offer help when needed. For the past year I have taken a leave of absence to help care for both my father and step-father, who were both diagnosed with cancer. They are to the point in their recovery where I can resume my career. I hope that during your search for new employees for your company that you will consider me and my experience to be a part of your company..
Thank you for the time you have spent reading this. Hope to talk to you soon
