Hello Recruitment:

Thank you for considering me, Shelli Tuck, NP-C, for the available advanced practice nurse position. I am a fully accredited and licensed nurse practitioner, with over seven years of professional nursing experience, both in acute and primary care. I can assure you that I have the clinical and interpersonal skills your prestigious team is seeking. My education and expertise are exemplified by an overwhelmingly approachable nature, and elite personality. I’ve been praised for my ability to remain calm, compassionate, demonstrative, and communicative even in the toughest situations. Mastering emotional stability has ensured that I lead by expert example; likewise, my clinical expertise promotes patient satisfaction, increases patient safety and awareness, and optimized confidence of all team members ensuring positive results.

Excellent character is coupled by verifiable credibility. Currently, I withhold national certifications in both Adult and Geriatric Medicine from the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) as well as dual-state licensures from Michigan’s Bureau of Professional Licensing & Regulatory Affairs (LARA) in the same. The AANP and State Board of Nursing have confirmed my active, claim-free status and shall confirm my credentials and accreditations. These honorable bodies have also granted my prescriptive authority, thereby supplying and supporting the use of a National Provider Identifier (NPI) number.

My higher education journey began with a bang as I claimed my position as salutatorian of my graduating class. This well-deserved accomplishment came with an expectation to succeed. My remarkable rankings prevailed as I completed three consecutive nursing degrees with honors. Higher education included University of Detroit Mercy summa cum laude and Walden University summa cum laude. Outstanding achievements throughout my education shall not only illustrate my consistent intellect, but also convey my advanced critical-thinking skills, and demonstrate my lifelong dedication to medicine. More importantly, these impeccable records separate me from the competition, as they provide incontestable evidence that I am prepared for the technical and ethical challenges of this imperative position.

My primary role as a nurse practitioner involves completing detailed physical assessments, recognizing abnormal findings and then taking the appropriate next actions. Annual Wellness Evaluations use recommendations provided by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) on screenings, counseling, and precautionary medicine. Constant utilization of these guidelines has naturally instilled them into my practice. Regardless of my role, I am able to provide quick, factual statistics on the benefits of available screenings and immunizations, and offer educational encouragement on utilization of community resources and other applicable services.

My secondary role as a nurse practitioner at Great Lakes Family Medical Center has also been nothing short of rewarding. This position has complimented my confidence and enhanced my independence as a nurse practitioner. I have been very successful in treating patients on various acuity levels, ranging from urgent situations to scheduled management of controlled and uncontrolled chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism, and various depressive disorders to name a few. Throughout each day, I evaluate and treat 30 - 40 patients independently, with ease. I complete these tasks successfully due to the assistance of the highly experienced, professional medical staff, and two very knowledgeable on-site pharmacists. I incorporate my advanced skills and knowledge into every patient’s care plan and have been privileged and exhilarated to witness as their objective outcomes scream success.

Overall, my widespread experience and natural compassion allow me to provide proficient, consistent, culturally-competent healthcare to the acute and chronically ill regardless of their ethnic background, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. Extensive professional experience managing complex disease processes, and patients with complicated socioeconomic situations has pushed me to become a better provider. I am eager and honored to advance my professional nursing career. I will be watchful of your expert opinion and professional reply. Your time has been valued and appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Shelli Tuck, NP-C, MSN
