Hello all,
I'm a little confused as to this whole landing a nursing job thing I was told my initial cover letter and resume were very generic...that it didn't set me apart or have enough "me" in it.
So, with the help of something I tweaked it... and highlighted aspects of my final clinical rotation- which I really enjoyed.
The issue I'm having is... while I think my new cover letter and that sounds better... I am not getting any call backs...
With the "generic" one I at least received 2.
So right now I am beyond confused and just wondering if anyone would be able to give me a hand and critique mine?
Thank you so much
I'm an RPN grad (Ontario, Canada)
... I guess no one was willing to take a stab at it

Why don't you post the body of your letter here, without identifiers? Maybe you'll get some comments that way. There are a lot of people in the same boat working on their own documents, but maybe you can help each other.

i find that cover letters are tricky. everyone will give you different advice about what should be on it.
all I can say is, keep it SHORT. people will not take the time to read a novel.
just state why you're interested in the position (that could be where you talk about you a little), and a statement or two about why you're qualified.
good luck
