Dear Nurse Recruiter,

I am writing to express my interest in obtaining a position as an emergency room nurse at Chino

Valley Medical Center. I will be graduating with my bachelor’s degree in nursing from The
University of Arizona in December 2019. After graduation, my intention is to move back to my
home state of California to take the NCLEX, and to practice as a Registered Nurse in California.
The mission statement of Chino Valley Medical Center, “To deliver compassionate, quality care
to patients and better healthcare to communities,” resonates with me as my motivation, humility,
compassion, and genuine love of the nursing profession will make me a valuable addition in
upholding the values and expectations of your facility.

I recently completed my 5-week preceptorship of 180 hours on the Step-Down Unit at the
Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Tucson and provided care to adults in critical condition and
in need of close observation. With a 1:3 nurse/patient ratio of high acuity patients, this
preceptorship reinforced my efficiency in prioritizing and organizing patient care while
maintaining clear communication skills and a calm demeanor and attitude in times of high stress.
These abilities, I believe, are necessary for ED nursing and qualify me as an ideal candidate for
this nursing position. Although there are some differences between Step-Down, ED, and ICU
nursing, I am an adaptable and dedicated worker and confident in my abilities to contribute to the
needs of your team.

The University of Arizona’s rigorous academic program has honed my skills in critical care and
thinking, given my rotations in Intensive Care Units, the Emergency Department, and Step-
Down Unit. I am a strong, yet compassionate patient advocate, dedicated to providing high
quality patient care to facilitate optimal outcomes for my patients and families.

As a candidate, I am committed to providing patient centered care, supportive teamwork, and

respectful leadership. I can be reached at (951) 775-1722, or via email ellananci@gmail.com for
any further information required. I look forward to discussing in person how my skills and
strengths will best serve your needs. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to
hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Ella Nanci
