I’m pleased to write you regarding submitting my application for the Greensboro, VT assignment. I believe my qualifications and experience make me an ideal candidate for the LPN travel assignment listed.

I graduated from St. Louis College of Health Careers in St. Louis, Mo. October 4, 1994. I worked in long-term care facilities and various staffing agencies while living and working in Missouri as an LPN.

In 2004, I relocated to the state of Georgia where I was exposed to a wider variety of nursing positions. I worked mainly for a skilled nursing facility while moonlighting with a staffing agency that exposed me to hospice care, home health, special-needs pediatric patients, and ventilator-dependent respiratory patients.

I relocated to Florida in 2014, and after working in a few skilled nursing facilities, I began to travel to the Northwest United States and work as an LPN with travel agencies. I returned home to Florida in September 2019 and started my career with Lee Health, while also working part-time for a local nursing staffing agency.

I look forward to hearing from you and would love to discuss my qualifications further during an interview.

Sincerely,

Kesha Coleman
