Dear Hiring Manager,
I am contacting you to express my interest in the Registered Practical Nurse opportunity with
you. After reviewing the position requirements, I believe that my qualifications and education
are a great match.
Throughout my previous work experience, I've honed my skills in clinical documentation and
medication administration, building a firm foundation of industry knowledge.
My communication skills have defused countless tense situations, and I work effectively in high-
pressure situations.
I am self-motivated to complete tasks on time with minimal direction and have a strong aptitude
in direct patient care. I'm an energetic and enthusiastic team-player who can also step in to take
the wheel when team leadership is needed.
As you review my resume, you may notice a brief gap in my work experience. I resigned from
my previous position to relocate across country to accommodate a new career opportunity for
my spouse. While managing the logistics of my move, I studied industry news, trends and
events to keep my knowledge current. I am now settled and prepared to take the next steps in
my career.
If you could give me a call, that would be great. I'm really interested in working for you, and I
hope you'll consider me for the position.
