To whom it may concern,

I am writing to inquire about the Nurse Practitioner job opening at your facility. I am a dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner with ANCC and AANP certification. I graduated from Tennessee State University in May of 2020 earning a Master of Nursing Science degree. I feel I can offer your facility a solid knowledge base, aptitude, and interpersonal skills to build quality relationships with future patients and make them feel confident and comfortable with the care provided.

As documented on my enclosed resume, I am an experienced registered nurse (RN) with four years of nursing experience and well-developed critical thinking skills. During my time obtaining an MSN degree I earned a total of 662 clinical hours. Through my clinical rotations I gained experience in the fields of pediatrics, women’s health, geriatrics, and family care.

I am motivated and passionate. I pride myself on my ability to learn quickly and keep a positive attitude. I am great with time management which I learned in college as a student athlete. I adapt well to most working environments. I would appreciate an opportunity to be a positive addition to your facility and faculty. You will not be disappointed in my work ethic and eagerness to be the best Nurse Practitioner I can be for myself and my future patients.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have via email, text, or phone call.

Best regards,

Kasi R. Wells, MSN, FNP-BC, FNP-C
