Dear Madame or Sir,
I am interested in your organizations entry-level RN position advertised on your website in the careers
section dated on 5/14/15. My application form and resume are attached for your review.
I graduated with an Associate Degree of Nursing from Kapiolani Community College, May 2015, and
recently licensed as a Registered Nurse (RN) by the State of Hawaii. I have gained valuable nursing
experience working as an LPN at the Hawaii Kai Retirement Assisted Living section. I also worked as a
Certified Nurse Aide at Hiolani Care Facility at Kahala Nui in Honolulu, HI, and gained valuable
experience as a student nurse at Kuakini Hospital, Straub Honolulu Clinic, Tripler Army Medical Center,
and The Queens Medical Center.
If I was given the opportunity to work at Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific, I am confident that I will
be hard working and an invaluable asset dedicated to enhance the health of our military members and
their families. I would appreciate your consideration of me for the position. I am looking forward to
hearing from you. Thank you very much.

Sincerely Yours,

Melvin E. Toledo, Jr.
