March ****

I am delighted to be considered for the position. I believe that I have experience that will be a great addition to the team. As the attached resume demonstrates, my knowledge extends beyond formal education, as I have experience in pain management for 1.5 years and palliative and hospice for 2years. I have experience in the cardiac catherization lab,ER, pre and post surgery, and home health.

I have 21 years experience as a RN the last year and a half I have practiced as an APRN in pain management and palliative care and hospice for two years. I graduated with my masters in family practice January 2019.

While working as a ER and Cardiac Cath Lab Nurse, I gained invaluable knowledge and experience in the areas of critical care nursing, Cath Lab procedures, acting charge nurse duties, and building and maintaining healthy relationships with team members and physicians. My ability to organize and prioritize work duties and responsibilities can be a great asset to the team. With attention to detail, determination, and an eagerness to learn, I will adapt quickly to the duties and responsibilities of this position.

Sincerely,

Janice L. West
