RE: Licensed Practical Nurse (Competition # 319758)
Dear Hiring Manager:
I am applying for the above position as posted in your website. It is my desire to apply my
expertise to your health care team.
I am currently enrolled for the Practical Nurse Program at NorQuest College and will be granted
temporary license to practice on March 2016. I was trained and worked as a nurse in my country.
Moreover, with the Practical Nurse Refresher Program, I gained more techniques and skills to
deal with patients in accordance to their needs. Medication administration in different routes,
initial venoclysis, wound assessment and wound care are some of the skills I can perform with
confidence to mention a few.
I consider my profession as my vocation. Helping other people is one of my passions. I am
patient dealing with people, I have good communication skills thus I can easily build a good
nurse-patient relationship and be a good member of a team. I take any work I do seriously and
making sure to accomplish it properly.
With my skills and experience, I am confident I can make a positive contribution to your
institution and would welcome the opportunity to personally discuss this opportunity. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Eileen Lirio B. Palad
