Mr. Robert Waugh, RN, MS
Director of Nurse Recruitment
Plainview Memorial Hospital
1600 Denver Avenue
Willow Oak, TN 38169
Dear Mr. Waugh:
I would like to apply for an entry-level staff position at Plainview Memorial Hospital. After graduating from Lewis College with a BSN on May 21, I will be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN® Exam and anticipate having the results by the end of June. I would like to start work immediately after I am licensed. I understand that your hospital has Magnet status, and I would consider it a privilege to work in a facility that emphasizes high-quality patient care.
I have had two 10-week Adult Health clinical rotations at Plainview and have been fortunate to have an externship on the 9 Tower medical unit for the past year. Through these experiences I have gained respect for the level of excellence that is demonstrated in your institution. I am convinced that I will be able to achieve my professional goals at Plainview Memorial.
After I receive the results from the licensure exam, I will call your assistant to schedule an appointment to discuss potential employment opportunities. I can be reached at home at 987- 912-3176 or on my cell phone at 987-200-9999. My email address is
ljenneta@comcast.net
.
I look forward to meeting you and discussing how I can contribute to Plainview Memorial Hospital.
Sincerely,
[insert your signature here]
Lorene Jennet
