Re: Charge Nurse Position

Dear Ms. Foster,

I'm writing to express my interest in the Charge Nurse position listed on the Medical Center Hospital website. I graduated from Odessa College with an Associate Degree in Nursing. While much of my experience has been in the business world, I believe that my interests and credentials match with your requirements. My skills and abilities make me an excellent candidate for the position and I feel that I can contribute in many positive ways at Medical Center Hospital.

During my education at Odessa College I have acquired skills in patient assessment and holistic care that focuses on all aspects of a person’s health: emotional, physical, and psychosocial. I also worked at a home health for the elderly, and worked for a home for abandoned children in the Philippines; both were rewarding and challenging experiences. They helped me to develop my skills in working with patients. These experiences increased my nursing skills and provided me with a broader base of clinical knowledge.

Thank you for taking the time to review my resume. I would welcome the chance to meet with you to discuss possible employment opportunities. I will be available for an interview at your convenience and may be reached at (432) 555-1234, or via e-mail at mjobseeker@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you about this opportunity.

Sincerely,

Mary Jobseeker
