Dear__________________:

 

I am currently seeking a challenging career opportunity in Nursing and am submitting my resume for your review.  In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, my professional qualifications include a broad range of experience in both Administrative/Supervisory and Staff capacities, specializing in Psychiatric and Rehabilitative nursing.  Over the course of my career, I have steadily progressed to assume increasing responsibilities for everything from staffing/scheduling and supervision to budget administration and performance improvements.  I am adept in identifying and resolving inefficiencies, controlling costs and building top-performing nursing teams, and am equally effective in providing comprehensive patient care, from assessments and treatment/care planning through patient/family education and discharge.  To complement my professional background, I offer an MA in Nursing Education and Administration.

 

As a member of your staff, you will find me to be a driven team player committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through superior performance.  I am confident that I could be a valuable asset to your organization, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

 

Sincerely,
