Hiring Manager,

I'm thrilled to be applying for an LPN position on the perinatology floor of Centurion Medical. I have always needed to nurture and care for those around me, first, as the oldest daughter of the family and then as I had a family of my own. When my children reached school age, I turned my passion for care to education as a nurse. I have many years of both personal and professional experience in caring for babies.

As a new graduate of the LPN program, I first worked in a nursing home, caring for the elderly. I have spent the last three years of my nursing career on the medical/surgical floor of the hospital while I waited for an opportunity to work with babies. I loved having clinicals with the mothers and babies on the perinatal floor and relish the opportunity to be a part of this special time. As a mother of three children myself, I know firsthand how an experienced nurse can make a positive impact during the labor, delivery and postpartum periods. I have a fervent desire to help each and every woman achieve her best labor and delivery experience.

I am self-motivated and do not need a lot of oversight. Many of my supervisors have commented that I strike the right balance between professionalism and responsiveness while dealing with patients. In seven years of being an LPN, I have maintained a strong record of avoiding errors. I was an integral part of the quality control team on the med/surg floor; during this time, we managed to reduce the nosocomial infection rate from 3.5% to 1%. I will continue to use these infection control methods wherever I work. I exceed the number of continuing education credits I need each year because I have a zeal for learning and am committed to continually updating my skills and knowledge.

Thank you for considering my application. I know you have many qualified applicants at Centurion Medical, and I appreciate the chance to demonstrate my skills and commitment to the nursing profession. I know I will be a positive addition to your perinatology team.

Sincerely,
Amy Chan
