Cook Children's Medical Center

Fort Worth, Texas 76104

Dear Ms. Murphy,

As an upcoming graduate, I am writing to express my interest in an entry level staff registered
nurse position. I have chosen Cook Childrens Medical Center to apply to due to the nationally
known program the facility has achieved by obtaining a MAGNET status. I would make a great
addition to your team by being an advocate to the promise instilled by your company that every
childs life is sacred.

During my college career, I worked twenty to forty hours a week serving tables at a local
restaurant. I learned ways of effective communication, how to be a team player, and the
effectiveness of teamwork. I feel what I have learned through the fast pace of serving tables at a
busy restaurant will transition well into a critical care setting, such as the Emergency
Department. Instead of serving drinks and food, I will serve patient-centered care and medicine.

I will graduate in August 2014 with a B.S.N. degree from Auburn University in Auburn,
Alabama. Through my clinical rotations, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of
settings ranging from intensive care units, medical-surgical units, labor and delivery, community
health facilities, and others. By completion of my undergraduate degree, I will have
accumulated 1,191 clinical hours. 216 of those hours were completed in CVICU at Childrens
Hospital of Alabama in Birmingham. My clinical experiences have provided me with a strong
foundation for the challenges of a nursing career.

I am very enthusiastic about the opportunity of building a career at Cooks Children Medical
Center. If you require any additional information, please feel free to contact me. I want to thank
you in advance for your time and consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,




Jessica Passantino
