McKenzie Health Care Recruitment
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am a Registered Nurse with current Basic Life Support- Health Care Provider certification and active registration with the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta. I have experience performing covid testing with Alberta Health Services and believe I would be a good fit for your team. I enjoy interacting with clients to ease their anxiety and give them a positive experience, especially during the highly stressful times we are facing in the pandemic.
I have worked across the city performing covid testing, and I am able to communicate effectively with a variety of clients from different age groups and backgrounds. My primary experience in nursing is critical care, which has given me excellent time management and critical thinking skills while working in a pressured environment. I function strongly both in a team setting and independently, I believe these skills would make me and excellent fit for this position. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Ava de Silva, RN
