Dear Maam / Sir:

I am writing to you this letter to express my interest to take up graduate studies in the College of Nursing of UP Manila. I have been aspiring to be part of that department for a long time now since I am aware that it provides the best education and environment for baccalaureate, graduate and post graduate students. I aim to pursue a Masters degree in Nursing major in Adult Health Nursing because I am currently working as a Post Anesthesia Care Unit Nurse which is related to the post graduate degree that I want to take up. I believe that this University is one of the best schools that I have encountered since it offers courses that will enhance my prior skills and help me to have more experiences in the field of health sciences. Being a PACU Nurse had taught me patience, perseverance, and alertness. I have dealt with patients, physicians and many other people with various backgrounds; therefore, it helped me to become more flexible when it comes to handle my stress. The personal qualities and the skills that I have acquired will surely aid me in fulfilling your requirements and hopefully increase the chance of securing a place in your institution. If ever I am chosen as a graduate student in UP Manila, I will continue to work hard to reach my long term goals in life. These goals include career advancement, improvement on nursing strategies and attitude, and contribution to the community. I will work hard to achieve these goals not just for my own sake, but for the sake of my patients and community. I want to use what I have learned to improve my current condition and if permitted to, I want to be part of Colleges faculty to pay you back for the opportunity you have given me. I am grateful for having this chance to apply as a student in UP Manila. I know that in this university, I will be able to achieve my goals and enrich my knowledge to improve my skills further.

Sincerely,

Peter Aristotle C. Dela Cruz, RN, RM Post Anesthesia Care Unit Operating Room Complex (local 3328 / 3325)
