RE: General application for a nursing position in your organization
Dear Mr. ……………… ,
I am writing to you to enquire about the various leadership positions available in your
organization. As a professional Registered Nurse, I have gained extensive clinical experience in
Maternal Newborn Nursing. I believe my educational qualifications and clinical abilities and
management in a health organization make me a suitable candidate for leadership roles in your
organization.
I have obtained my Bachelors in Nursing (BSN) from Grand Canyon University and Associates
Degree in Nursing from Houston Community College. This short term nursing training has
enabled me to perform entry-level basic nursing duties. I have been awarded Licensed
Vocational Nursing Certification from Paris Junior College which allows me to work as a
Registered Nurse and perform supervision in bedside responsibilities in maternity care.
I am presently working as a Staff Nurse in Medical City Dallas imparting exceptional individual
care to new mothers and babies. I am adept in assessment and evaluation of patient care,
following and appropriate execution of physicians instructions. Educating new mothers on self-
care and newborn-care post-delivery sessions involves a part of my nursing responsibilities. I
perform efficiently in providing both physical and emotional support to the expectant mothers. I
prioritize patient care and maintain regular electronic documentation using Meditech and
Centricity Perinatal software.

I have 21 years of professional experience as a staff nurse and a charge nurse in Children’s
Hermann Hospital in executing multidisciplinary roles in clinical settings. I have performed
nursing responsibilities as a charge nurse as well as a clinical manager with great awareness
within the clinical unit. As a charge nurse, I have performed daily operations of extensive care
within the maternal care unit of 41-bed unit. I have performed the role of a mentor and model for
a junior nursing team of fifteen nurses and enriched them with nursing education. I have also
provided nursing education as a senior to nursing students.
As a skilled staff nurse, I have performed lactation services and transitional nursery duties
involved in transitioning newborns from intra-uterine to extra-uterine life with high efficiency
and exceptional care. Quality patient care is the sole responsibility in my work, where I attend to
the needs of the maternity unit on a regular schedule. I have performed a short term role of six
months as a clinical manager where I have performed leadership roles to assign and counsel
regular clinical activities for nursing staff in maternity unit.
My professional qualities involve efficient interpersonal skills and proficient communication
skills. I have efficient organizational skills and leadership abilities to organize and carry out
nursing duties with extreme maternal care. I am a focused and a fast learner. I am adept in
coordinating work force management and have potential abilities requiring no supervision.
Multitasking abilities and excellent time management are integral to my performance. I have
expert skills in software usage in electronic documentation, having expertise in Cerner and
Power Chart Maternity Software.
I believe a challenging environment within your organization will provide me a platform to
showcase my talents and expertise. I am looking forward to hearing from you. I am enclosing my
resume for your kind perusal. Thank you.
