Dear (Name), 

My extensive experience in delivering superior customer service and knowledge acquired during my clinical rotations would make me an excellent candidate for a registered nurse position in the XXX unit.  I shadowed many registered nurses, an elementary school nurse, and observed many nurses and patients in a variety of units. Visiting these patients and working for over 10 years in the customer service industry, I am confident I can deliver genuine, compassionate, and exceptional care to every patient. These roles taught me the fundamental values that have fueled my personal and professional approaches, and they also serve as the groundwork for my personal nursing philosophy.

Some of my career highlights include:

• Spent 135 clinical hours each semester shadowing and learning from hospital nurses.

• Rotation experience in the following areas: Orthopedic, pediatric, maternity, medical-surgical, critical care (ICU, ED). Additionally, worked at XXX mental health hospital, with a XXX elementary school nurse, and a preceptor at a XXX hospital.

Throughout my time at XXX school, we have always operated and abided by the core concepts of Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring. Practicing equanimity and caring environment, understanding the patient and their family/friends/colleagues in a personal and authentic way, and engaging in a teaching and learning experience that cultivates wholeness all play a role in the everyday practice of a nurse. Developing trusting and supportive relationships and a healing and problem-free environment are essential skills for providing the best care for patients.

As you can see from my enclosed resume, I have a strong education and professional background, extensive volunteer experience, and am also fluent in English, Czech, and Slovak which all directly add value to XXX unit. I look forward to speaking with you about the registered nurse position at XXX unit. Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely, 

XXX X XXXX
