To Whom It May Concern:

I am a graduate of Wagner College with a Master of Science in Nursing Degree. I believe my educational background and past work experiences will contribute significantly to your health care system. I would like to apply for a Nurse Practitioner position.

Through my education and during my clinical rotations I learned a wide range of skills. I also strengthened my ability to think on my own feet and problem-solve. I have acquired skills in patient assessment and gained a solid foundation in providing holistic care that focuses on all aspects of a person’s health. Also, my most recent experience as a Nurse Practitioner has given me the confidence I need to care for patients and the ability to collaborate with other healthcare professionals insuring continuity of patient care.

I am passionate about nursing and I realize that critical patient care requires a solid foundation in nursing skills and techniques, prioritization of care, and communication skills. These skills, coupled with my compassion, patience, and patient advocacy, are what I can offer as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

Thank you for giving my resume careful consideration. I am looking forward to meeting with you soon to discuss possible employment. I can be contacted on my cellular phone 347-***-**** or by e-mail (ac6tg0@r.postjobfree.com).

Sincerely,

Tolulope Falana, MSN, RN, FNP-C
