Dear sir/madam,
I am writing in response to your department’s recent advertisement for an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. It is my fervent belief that the skills and qualifications I possess, make me the ideal candidate for this position. I possess a Master’s Degree in Science of Nursing, and was recently board certified as an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, as well as more than 15 years of experience in direct patient care.
My work and internship experience entailed managing the care of medical and surgical patients, educating patients and families about the disease process and self-care; assessed, diagnosed, and treat acute and chronic illnesses.
It would be a privilege to have my skills utilized by your office to further enhance the organization. Should I be considered as a candidate, I will purposefully and un-hesitantly execute my tasks in a manner that conforms to the high standards of your office.
Sincerely,
Michelene Wray
