Sir,
I would like to apply for the position of Licensed Practical Nurse in your esteemed organization.
I am a Nursing professional with Masters degree in Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing. I am a compassionate nurse with over 3 years of experience in nursing role and a real desire for improving the quality of life of individuals. Presently, am doing Psychiatric Nursing Refresher Certificate Program, Douglas College, BC.
Pursuing mental health nursing, endowed me with a greater enthusiasm and determination to help and support the needs and quality of life of individuals with complex needs. It has helped me to improve the communication skills, both verbal and non-verbal and with those for whom communication is challenging. I have good working experience with children, youth and adults having various medical or surgical issues and behavioural problems.
My varied experience as a nurse in different settings enabled me to obtain a greater understanding of the different cultures and traditions, which has the strong potential to lend me a hand to work in a multi cultural environment.
I am self motivated, dedicated and a very patient person with great empathy and a genuine desire to help.
My educational qualification and employment history has been assessed by NNAS and I have LPN – 2019 Active practice permit with CLPNA.
I have attached my resume for your perusal.
