I just started making separate folders for each institution that I apply to, and then save each position's resume into their respective institution folder. What gets me a little is the file naming process. What format do you choose to name your cover letters? I often combine a cover letter with a resume on one document to ensure that my cover letter gets read. Have you done the same? Do you make it point that the name of such a (combined) document reflects this info in it?
I've never written a cover letter for any type of nursing job. My application, resume and inside connections have always been sufficient enough to generate a callback. However, I see that the OP is in NYC, which has an ultra competitive nursing job market.
lol and you have 8 years of experience meaning that you started 8 years ago when there was an actual nursing shortage unlike now when there's a glut

Can you relate?
It's been a handful of hours just clicking and editing. Hmm, let's change a word there, another there and walla!...this cover letter is ready for launch:up:
Hours and hours of button clicking and tweaking cover letters. And to think that I may never get a call back......sheesh! No, Silly mind!!! Don't think like that lol
When is enough, enough??? When has it reached that time when you sign off/get off the computer/application websites and tell yourself, "Yes! I put in my effort for today" and then go and do something else i.e. watch a movie, look in the mirror and admire yourself?
I think I've reached it.
