TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I am writing in response to the position as being advertised within your organisation.

I am a highly capable professional with more than 12 years of nursing experience in a theatre setting. 5 years as a Registered Scrub nurse, as well a Senior Professional Nurse since August 2019.

My background, as well as my ability to learn quickly and apply my knowledge effectively would enable me to play a valuable role within your organisation.

My telephonic, personal and inter-personal communication skills are outstanding and in addition, I have learned how to deal with and manage a diverse variety of people.

My approach to my work and my eye for detail goes above and beyond my job description, as I am always looking for new and innovative ways to improve efficiency and to reduce costs.

I would bring to this position not only these skills, but also a positive, co-operative attitude that I have displayed throughout my nursing career.
