Dear Nurse Manager,
I am applying for the new graduate RN position on your medical-surgical unit at Peachtree General Hospital. Your residency focus on interdisciplinary communication and early recognition of clinical deterioration matches how I trained: clear updates, calm escalation, and careful documentation when acuity spikes.
I passed the NCLEX, completed 720 clinical hours across med-surg and step-down rotations, and hold BLS and ACLS certifications.
During capstone I managed a four-patient assignment with preceptor oversight, prioritizing assessments, wound care, and patient education on anticoagulation safety. Preceptor feedback highlighted my calm documentation during a rapid response call where I assisted with medication prep and clear closed-loop communication.
I am eager to continue structured learning while delivering safe, compassionate bedside care.
I advocate for patients with plain-language explanations, verify orders carefully, and treat nursing assistants and environmental services as essential partners.
I know nights and weekends are part of the work; I am ready for that schedule.
I also checked paragraph breaks against the free outlines at coverletter-examples.com so the letter stays easy to scan.
My resume includes clinical sites and references. Please contact me at 404-555-0170 or riley.washington@email.com. Thank you for your consideration; I would welcome the opportunity to discuss joining Peachtree's med-surg team.
Sincerely,
Riley Washington
