RE: ARNP Position
To Whom it may concern,
I am extremely interested in the Nurse Practitioner position available caring for pediatric patients all the way to the elderly. I recently graduated with a Masters in Nursing- Family Nurse Practitioner from South University on April 12, 2017. On June 09, 2017 I took and passed my national certification. I ‘m currently with EMPRO’s emergency physician group that staffs all of the Florida Hospitals in this area. I looking to expand my knowledge into urgent care specializing in acute patients.
My last rotation was with a practice that has primary care patient and a walk-in clinic called Island Doctors. It was wonderful to work with such an extraordinary healthcare provider, who is committed to patient centered care and preventive health. During this practicum, I was able to further my nursing knowledge while learning my advanced practice skills for the management and treatment of complex medical problems. The opportunity to work in a similar clinical position is very appealing, as it will allow for further growth. I am confident that I can make a valuable contribution to your practice by maintaining a positive attitude, collaborating with physicians, and providing patient centered care.
My enclosed curriculum vitae reflects my 15 years of Nursing experience, accreditations, licenses, and outstanding performance record. I am committed to excellence through evidenced-based guidelines blended with experience and intuition. In addition, I am passionate about preventive health management that is holistic and patient centered. The combination of critical care and primary care experiences, as well as my commitment to excellent patient centered compassionate care, make me an ideal candidate for this position. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Please feel free to reach me anytime for any questions.
Sincerely,
Shannon Badger RN, MSN
