Summary
Dear Hiring Manager, I am excited to express my interest in the Registered Nurse position at your organization. With over 15 years of diverse nursing experience, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and leadership. I hold a Bachelor’s in Nursing and began my career as a registered nurse in acute medicine and surgical units, where I spent five years honing my skills in patient care and collaboration. Following that, I transitioned into a clinical instructor role at a nursing college for four years, where I mentored future healthcare professionals. After moving to Canada, I gained valuable administrative experience as a clinic manager for one year, followed by nine years as a medical office assistant. I have since earned my LPN registration and gained over a year of experience working as a care coordinator and charge nurse, RN with Alberta Health Services. Currently, I work as a registered nurse at Staywell Home in Calgary, continuing my passion for providing high-quality care to patients. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my extensive experience can contribute to the continued success of your team. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
