DEAR SIR/MADAM
I am writing this letter to express my candidature for a Registered Nurse position at your institution. Together with this letter I have attached my CV, SANC certificate, copy of my I.D, my Degree certificate and the other short causes’ certificates (IMCI, Breast feeding, CPR for professionals (Basic Life Support) and PACK WC covid19 module2)
I am an energetic, very easy to work with because I invest dedication, focus and enthusiasm in my work. I can work under pressure and I value punctuality and preparation. I am very good with people and I have good communication skills. I approach my work with utmost diligence and highly motivated nurse, who is very keen on serving the community by delivering the best quality nursing service.
I have considerable experience in almost all the areas of the nursing field and what I lack in experience I make up for it for enthusiasm and willingness to learn. During this short time in the field I have learned how to work efficiently and effectively under pressure, how to conduct myself professionally at all times and I have also gained profound knowledge of administration, and assessment of patients.
I started my professional career at a METRO TB HOSPITAL COMPLEX (Brooklyn chest hospital) where my responsibilities included:
Preparing and implementing a customised interdisciplinary care plan
Administering medication in compliance with the established policies and standards
Monitoring patient’s condition
Ensuring cleanliness and hygiene in patients rooms and in the unit
Identifying physical and psychological requirements of the patient
Supervision to ensure a smooth running in the unit
I very much hope that you will look favourably upon my application by recognising my enthusiasm, current experience and willingness to grow in the profession
Sincerely
Seme C.
