Dear Human Resources at --- Hospital,

I am writing in response to an announcement for a registered nurse position recently

posted on the ---- Hospital employment opportunities web site. I feel as though ---

Hospital will provide me wonderful opportunities as a new gradate nurse in that we have

the same mission in mind to provide quality patient care.

As you can see from my resume, I graduate in May 2013 from the University of ---

in -----School of Nursing. Through my clinical rotations, I have had the

opportunity to work in several settings, including precepting in the MICU at ----

Hospital. My experience in the MICU has helped me work on the critical care skills

needed to care for a critically ill patient and taught me how to be part of a team of

caregivers who provide overall quality patient care.

I am very interested in beginning my nursing career at ----Hospital and believe that my

skills and experience have prepared me well. I look forward to meeting you, and if there

is anything else I can offer to you about my qualifications feel free to contact me through my email or number listed in resume.

Sincerely,
