My Cover Letter...

To Whom It May Concern:

I have been a full time student at St Paul Community College in St. Paul, MN since August 2008 pursuing a degree in Practical Nursing. I relocated to Phoenix AZ in August 2009 to begin a new life journey and to continue my pursuit of a degree in Registered Nurse. My goal is to gain full time long term employment with a reputable health care facility to enhance and expand my care giving skills, complete my nursing education and establish long term roots within a community.

I am determined to find opportunities that will allow me to do so and am willing to relocate to a city where opportunities are more advantageous and conducive to my long term goals.I am seeking employment as a Certified Nursing Assistant in a hospital or private setting to gain valuable experience that will not only enhance my skills as a caregiver but also help prepare me for the nursing career I am pursuing.

Like most successful health care systems you have seen the good that comes from having a friendly, professional, and self-motivated employee working to assist patients and staff. A good attitude, compassion and strong professional work ethic are essential qualities one must possess when entering the medical field. Employing someone who is willing to put forth the extra effort can make a tremendous difference in the daily functions of any professional setting.

I have been a caregiver in my personal and professional life for 20 years. I am a person that works very well for consecutive hours with little or no supervision and complete my given tasks efficiently and effectively. I work very well with others, learn quickly and pay great attention to detail to ensure my work is done with the utmost professional attitude and skill level to ensure my given tasks are completed in a timely and efficient manner.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience so that I may further discuss my work experience and my present educational credentials and goals.

Sincerely,

Lesa Hagen
