Dear Human Recourses
I would like to express my interest in joining your team as a Registered Practical Nurse. I am a highly motivated individual with more than 3 years of hands on experience working as a Registered Practical Nurse. My acquired expertise is achieved by providing holistic optimal quality of care in both the acute care hospital setting and in the long term care facilities. Such knowledge and experience have broadened my nursing skills and enhanced my competency to effectively care for patients while undergoing IV Therapy, Carrying out complex wound care treatment orders and VAC therapy, and efficiently carry out assessments for individuals with cognitive impairments and other mental health issues such as depression, suicidal ideation, schizophrenia, Bipolar and aggression. In addition, I am able to effectively administer medication, assess and carry out wound care orders, transcribe doctor’s order, assess patient’s progress and status, collaborate with both family and the interdisciplinary team. I am very certain that these skills and qualifications that I have acquired would be a valuable asset.
My reliability, well-developed organizational skills, and time management abilities, have been beneficial in my career to date. I enjoy challenge, and can work both independently and as a member of a team. My excellent communication and interpersonal skills allows me to interact efficiently with family, patients, and co-workers. My sound judgement and multitasking abilities are very beneficial in challenging situations. I am also able to quickly grasp new ideas and concepts, and integrate quickly into new environments.
I have enclosed my resume for your review. I am available to begin this position immediately and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Kerisa Oskooei,
Registered Practical Nurse
