Nurse Cover Letter Example

Last Wednesday I sat with a post-op cardiac patient for 40 minutes after extubation because his daughter couldn't reach the hospital in time. That kind of presence is what I love about ICU nursing, and it's why I'd like to bring my 6 years of cardiac-ICU experience to your new 32-bed unit at Charing Cross.

I'm BLS/ACLS/PALS certified, currently a preceptor for new graduates, and led an audit ritual that cut our central-line infections by 41% last year. I read your job description carefully — the mix of cardiac and post-surgical caseload is exactly what I've been doing at Hospital de Santa Maria.

I can relocate to London within 4 weeks (NMC application already in progress) and would welcome a call to talk through a recent case.
