Dear Sir or Madam,

It is with great anticipation that I inform you of my intent to be a part of your organization. I am a recently board- certified graduate of the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program, in which I proudly hold a Master of Science Degree through Walden University.

I have 11 years of experience as a Registered Nurse in the fields of ER Trauma, hospice, and psychiatric care. I was also a psychiatric technician for over 10 years, from 2004- to 2014. Prior to my nursing career, I was affiliated with telecommunications and customer service; I must say that fulfilling the needs of others such as friends, family, and patients alike continues to be a great joy of mine. During my time as a nurse, I have acquired dynamic clinical and assessment skills that I am sure will be of great use to your organization.

It would be an honor and privilege to work beside you as I continue my personal journey in knowledge and skill of the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner profession. I strongly believe that you as well as other members in your organization will find me nothing less than a joy to work with as I am hard working, dependable, flexible, open to constructive criticism, and always looking for a learning opportunity. Consider me for this position and I am sure you would have found an asset to your organization.

I am currently employed but am ready to start working in the applied field as soon as possible. I am available for employment with adequate notice to my current employer. I would also love to meet you in person and provide you with personal references and letters of recommendation upon request. Attached is my corpus vitae that details my clinical experience as well as my educational back ground. Thanks so much for your consideration. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Lynda Akoto, BSN, MSN, NP-FPMH-BC
