Dear Mrs. Doe:
Please accept the enclosed resume as my application for your Registered Nurse (RN) management position available in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) department which you advertised last week on your website. I am applying because I believe I meet all the essential criteria for the role, and strongly feel that I can make an effective and useful leader for this unit.
I have learned a great deal in my employment and education to date, including nursing leadership and management, physical health assessment, policy & ethics, pathophysiology, critical thinking, time management, and delegation skills. I am an accomplished individual with a strong desire to succeed and develop others to succeed. My ability to work as a team player and meet deadlines, along with my natural enthusiasm and optimism will all contribute to success in your organization.
I am highly committed, patient/family centered, and able to quickly see a problem of concern and use critical thinking to best solve it. On a personal level I am open to any situation that challenges my creative abilities. This helps me to lead others and enhance the goals of the unit. I have a reputation as being a fast learner, who is dependable.
I am enclosing my resume which demonstrates my education and nursing experience. I will look forward to hearing from you to set up a time for an interview. It is my hope that it is obvious that I will be a good team member of management staff. Thank you for taking the time to read through my resume and this letter.
