Dear Hiring Manager,

In the interest of exploring employment opportunities, enclosed is my

resume for your consideration.

I am a licensed Nursing Home Administrator and Registered Nurse in the

states of Virginia, Maryland, DC, New York, and Pennsylvania. In 2000, to

further advance my career, I earned a Master's Degree in Health Services

Administration from Central Michigan University.

Over the past twenty years, I have gained an extensive amount of knowledge

while working for recruiting agencies or via personal recommendations. This

allowed me to accept short term (interim) as well as long-term assignments.

It gave me the opportunity to work in a variety of multi-sized facilities

ranging from 35 - 290 beds; some of the Facilities were non-profit versus

for profit, and union versus non-union. I have also worked in a hospital

based transitional care unit. Please refer to my resume, as it reveals the

details of various locations where I was instrumental in meeting goals and

arriving at profitable solutions.

Presently seeking a permanent full time position. Will consider interim

employment in any area that I am licensed until a permanent position can be

obtained.

Should you anticipate a need for an individual with my experience and

genuine enthusiasm, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss our mutual

objectives in a personal interview.

Sincerely,

Ellen Waller, RN, MHSA, LNHA
