Dear Hiring Manager,

I’m excited by the opportunity to apply for the Nurse Practitioner position at Cloud Clearwater. As a fully accredited and licensed nurse with 12 years of experience working in private clinics, I bring a wealth of medical knowledge, technical aptitude, and interpersonal skills that help patients feel comfortable and confident in all aspects of their care.

As a Nurse Practitioner at River Tech for more than a decade, I served primarily in the cardiology and pediatric care units. I was responsible for all stages of patient care, including admitting patients, examining medical histories, ordering tests, diagnosing conditions, designing treatment plans, prescribing medication and educating patients on their condition and care program. I received specialized training in conducting exercise, Persantine and Lexiscan nuclear stress tests, and I later served as Training Team Leader for these tests.

I had the opportunity to pioneer the use of new technology to improve physician-patient interactions and drive successful business outcomes for River Tech. I spearheaded the design and implementation of our “I Heart Health” mobile app, which allowed clinical teams to deliver educational materials and medication reminders directly to patients’ devices. As a result of this initiative, we saw a 36% increase in medication compliance and a 62% decrease in follow-up appointment cancellations.

I would like to thank you for considering me for the Nurse Practitioner position. I hope to talk with you soon about Cloud Clearwater’s approach to enhancing patient care. I would love to discuss how my deep understanding of the latest medical technology combined with my passion for creating personal connections with patients can be used to improve overall health outcomes for Cloud Clearwater’s valued patients.

Sincerely,

Ebony Moore
