Medical Nurse

Greetings! My name is Crystal Kennedy. I am a Registered Practical Nurse and

a resident of Barrie. I am presently employed casually with Saint Elizabeth

Health Care, worked as a floor nurse on a medical cardiac unit for the Royal

Victoria Hospital for five years previous, and currently hold a part time position

on the new Respiratory unit at Royal Victoria Regional Health Center. Your ad

for a Rehabilitation assistant, placed in the Canada Job Bank on January 5,

2013, immediately caught my attention and I would like to present myself

available for this position.

My experience at the Royal Victoria Hospital has equipped me to handle a

variety of acute medical situations and collaborate as a team with other medical

professionals regarding whole patient care. Saint Elizabeth Health Care has

provided me with a unique opportunity to work within a client centered care

setting, specifically to medically fragile adults and children within the home and

school setting. I sincerely enjoy caring for the geriatric population and have

experience working and dealing with a range of patients suffering from

dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and delirium.

I thoroughly enjoy being a part of a health care team to promote health and

wellness to patients and their families. During my seven years as a nurse, I

have acquired an array of skills and knowledge base experience derived from a

variety of health care settings. I believe I would be a valuable asset to you and I

look forward to the opportunity of learning about and caring for those with

hearing and visual challenges. It is always humbling, rewarding and fulfilling to

have the privilege to help those without the abilities; we so often take for

granted.

Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from

you.

Sincerely,

Crystal Kennedy RPN

I continually seek growth and development and engage in every opportunity to improve
