April 16, 2020
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nicole Charles and I am an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Program (ACNP). I am board certified as an ACNP with the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). I believe my overall 12 years of critical care, nursing home, pediatric, emergency care, primary care experience coupled with my 6 years of primary, acute and cardiology nurse practitioner training would be most appropriate for this position.
Please accept this letter as my expressed interest to work as a Telehealth Nurse Practitioner for your organization. I am currently licensed as an APRN in Florida and in the process of obtaining my Florida DEA, however I am willing to get licensed in any states you feel my skill set applies. I believe that my advanced practice education complements the critical care experience I have gained from my years of work as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and Registered Nurse(RN). I believe this overall experience has prepared me for the challenge and makes me an ideal candidate at your organization if given the opportunity.
I have been considered by my managers, preceptors and peers as a problem solver and capable to analyze obstacles and develop appropriate action plans based on current evidenced based practice. The opportunity to work with your organization is especially appealing to me because it will allow me to practice by providing valued added healthcare services in combination with current technology.
Attached to this cover letter is a copy of my resume which highlights my experiences and skills. Thank you for taking the time to review my resume. I would welcome the chance to meet with you and discuss possible employment opportunities.
