Dear Sir/ Madam,

RE: APPLICATION AS A HOSPITAL NURSE

I write to present my application for the nursing post available at your corporation as per your adverts in the electronic and print media. I am a dedicated young professional with my main professional development objective being to participate in nursing at the highest possible level such as that offered at Tenet Healthcare Corporation. To this end, I have made efforts in advancing my professional qualifications, which is above average for a young professional. My other objectives include adding value to the complicated American nursing environment through my academic and non-academic skills that I have acquired over the years. By having such a chance, I would be able to match my profession with my interests, which include serving the needy. During my extra curricular activities, I have established an interest of offering voluntary services to the needy in different health and special care facilities. In the process, I have obtained excellent professional skills that support an all-rounded delivery of services. Some of such personal strengths include interpersonal skills, leadership skills, initiative-taking skills, tolerance, and communication skills. In line with the requirements of a modern nursing professional, I believe that I meet several of what would be needed in my duties if my application were successful.

For the above reasons and those contained in my resume, I believe that I am the right candidate for this job. I offer to make positive contributions and cooperation as required of me during the processing of my application. I would like to hear soon from the Corporation regarding the application for clarification. Attached is a section of my resume detailing on documents, certification and strengths.

Thanks in advance.
