Subject: Interest in Nurse Assistant Position

Salutations Mrs. Hilda Tavener:

I am interested in applying fro a nurse assistant position at Presbyterian Manor. I have knowledge, skills, and a deep empathy that will make residents feel well cared for and comfortable.

I am currently attending RTC and will have my Certified Nurse’s Assistant Certification May 2007. By graduation I will have a semester of hands-on clinical experience and anticipate certification in OSHA and CPR as well. I have attended or will attend workshops over bloodborne pathogens, financial management, nervous system and other body part dissections, as well as sexual harassment and workplace violence. I have taken a semester course in Office Management and know how to operate a computer well, including the Microsoft Office suit (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access) and internet, use an electronic printing calculator, filing and proper telephone procedures.

I am naturally concerned about those around me and have helped care for children and my dementia-suffering grandmother since I was thirteen. I relish helping people when needed and will maintain and show respect at all times.

I have included my résumé and look forward to scheduling an interview with you to prove that I would make a valuable addition to the nursing team by demonstrating my skills, advanced education and kindness.

You may contact me by calling 573-247-6380 (cell phone) or by emailing me at mouse_matson@yahoo.com. I will be in touch later next week to check on the status of the position.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,


Bonnie Melton
