Sample Cover Letter

1431 N. Claremont Ave. ● Chicago, IL 60622 ● 773-252-5133 ● [email protected]

April 30, 2019 Dear Mr. Employer, I am writing to express my interest in the Staff Nurse I position in Community Health at Xavier Community Services. My clinical experience in a variety of settings and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing make me an excellent candidate for your program. Through my education at Resurrection University, I have been taught to focus on various aspects of individual healthcare, including patient care, monitoring disease progression, dispensing medication, and administering assessments. I became enthusiastic about working in Community Health during my clinical rotation, where I was able to see how nursing could integrate both technical and nurturing skills in order to effectively treat patients. Even after my rotation, I continued working with this population during my role transition as a senior student nurse. I spent forty hours a week practicing foundational nursing skills and techniques, such as prioritization of care and communication, as well as compassion for patients and their families. Through these experiences, I have learned to be a present listener who is patient, empathetic, cooperative, nurturing and able to communicate effectively with patients and peers as well as other healthcare professionals. I am interested in this position, not only because I want to work in this setting, but because I know I would make a great addition to Xavier Community Services. I would be honored to have the opportunity to become a part of your team and contribute my skills to your organization and patients. You may feel free to contact me at [email protected] or by phone at (773) 252.5133. Thank you for your consideration and time in reviewing my application. Sincerely, Sample Cover Letter
