AUTOTEXTLIST Dear Mr . Young

I am writing in response to your notice posted online at the University of Maine website for the position of Staff Nurse . I recently received my Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in May and the position you have posted is an excellent fit with my skills and background . I have a strong work history of various roles in the medical field and understand the need for professionalism , tact , diplomacy and confidentiality required for the position of Staff Nurse with your organization

My most recent experience was working as a Nursing Assistant at City Healthcare . During my time with City Healthcare , I was instrumental in keeping food costs in line with budget as well as organizing a very successful blood drive in the community which garnered several hundred much-needed pints for the facility . My greatest strength , however , is in my management skills . During my tenure at City Healthcare , there was no turnover in the corps of volunteers due to my implementation of an incentive program

As Staff Nurse with your organization , I would bring the qualities of compassion and organization to the position . These are traits I have honed over many years of working with patients and my peers in both an administrative as well as hands-on setting

review my resume at your earliest convenience . I will contact you in a few days to arrange an interview at a convenient time for you Thank you for your consideration

AUTOTEXTLIST Sincerely
