Dear Sir or Madame,

My name is Robert Galey, and I am a nurse practitioner, and have seen your online ads looking for NP’s in the Phoenix, Arizona market. I am very interested in exploring employment as a nurse practitioner in one of your clinics.

While I have just graduated from Chamberlain College of Nursing’s FNP program this past August, I have a wealth of education and experience in nursing that I have successfully utilized in becoming an FNP. For example, I have an Associate Degree in Radiologic Technology, a three year Diploma as a Registered Nurse, a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, a Master’s Degree in Health Administrative Services, and a Master’s in Nursing Degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

In addition, to the above, I am currently employed as Director of Emergency Services at St. Mary’s Hospital, in Tucson, Arizona. I have multiple years of nursing experience, mostly in the emergency department, but have also had experience developing nurse practitioner and physician assistant offices as feeder systems for a hospital in Illinois. In doing so, I applied for, and was successful in obtaining federal qualification as rural health centers, applied for and obtained CLIA licensing for these offices, as well as serving as their administrative officer.

Please find my resume that includes my contact information, and is intended to demonstrate my educational and clinical expertise as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I have successfully passed the AANP National Certification exam, have my NPI number, and am in the process of obtaining my DEA license as well.

I look forward to hearing from soon and can’t wait to begin the next chapter of my healthcare career!

Respectfully,

Robert Galey, RN, BSN, MS, MSN, FNP-C
