To whom it may concern:
When I saw your posting for a licensed practical nurse, I decided to write to you immediately. I have just under a year of experience with other licensed practical nurses administering medications, performing measurements, keeping records, and helping with patient care, surgery, first aid, CPR, etc. However, I spent four years of my life in the US Navy performing these same tasks as a hospital corpsman.
I can assure you I would be a committed employee. I have good patient relations skills, and I have a sincere interest in the well-being of those in my care.
Would you like to meet to talk over this job? I'd enjoy speaking with you in person. Please call me on my cell phone: 254-***-**** to set up an interview at your convenience. Thank you for considering my cover letter and my qualifications.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Gadison, L.P.N.
