Re: Pediatric Nurse in The Children’s Emergency Room, advertised in The New York Times

Dear Dr. Albert,

Pursuant to your ad in The New York Times, I’m applying for the position of pediatric nurse in the children’s emergency room.

I function well under pressure and project a calm, gentle personality, which I’ve found relaxes children (and their parents) and leads to maximum cooperation.

As my resume states, I have nine years of experience in working medical centers and in the emergency room of a busy hospital and received my BSN from XYZ University.
My responsibilities at my current job include:

• Assessing patient condition of incoming patients and triaging.
• Taking vital signs and documenting accurately patient history, state upon arrival, and any changes.
• Effectively communicating with the patient and his/her family.

I developed a technique of distracting young patients while taking blood samples and placing IV lines, which I’ve demonstrated at other hospitals in the region.

I am interested in furthering my medical knowledge and regularly attend seminars to learn new methods of providing superior health care.

Kindly be in contact with me by phone or at the above email and I will be happy to come down to the hospital for an interview.

Sincerely,

Amanda Edwards
