Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a licensed Registered Nurse who has gained vast experience for the past 6 years in the nursing profession at Roan General Hospital. I hereby seek to work at Sault Area Hospital under medical 3C as advertised on Sault Ste. Marie website of job posting number 706-***-****. I am satisfied in my current job but would like to explore my full potential at an international level. I believe that I can contribute positively because of my experience, knowledge and skills essential in rendering quality nursing care. I have experience caring for a broad range of patients from infants to senior citizens within various scenarios including post-operative, infectious diseases, medical, oncology, intensive care and emergency departments. I am highly skilled in intravenous access and administration with 99% success rate for all patients. I have also proven myself to be self-motivated, driven with enthusiasm for continued learning. This is because I was able to pursue my Bachelor of Science in Nursing under distance learning at University of Zambia while working full time job. This also proves how willing I am to undergo extra training/orientation and certification for me to fulfil my duties and render the best of care through integrity, compassion, collaboration, accountability, respect and excellency at your institution.
Early this year I had an opportunity to undertake an exchange visit with clinical placement at the teaching hospital of Wales under Cardiff University which added to my nursing experience immensely. I was able to adapt easily and gain experience in Basic Life Support, Cardio pulmonary resuscitation, electrocardiogram, emergency care and use of various assessment tools which are essential to the position I seek. Am an autonomous individual who also highly values interdependency in team work because “together” we can do so much more for the patient as we collaborate.
Thank you for your consideration and looking forward to hearing from you for further interview and offer details.
Sincerely,
Muntanda Chanda Susan.
