Dear employer,
I am writing to you today because I am interested in the open CNA position in your oncology,
renal, and pediatrics departments. I have a high interest in the medical field and this nursing
assistant position will be an opportunity to learn more about these fields. Also I want to be able
to provide good care for the patients. For these reasons and other reasons I will explain below is
why I am interested in this CNA position.
My high interest in the medical field is why I am applying for this position. I would like to gain
experience in these fields more specifically pediatrics, as I want to become a pediatric nurse in
the future. This position will also give me an opportunity to learn about cancer and renal failure.
As this position may give me a good learning experience I also want to offer the patients good
care. I will offer nothing but all my good work qualities; I will be productive, kind and I will put
the patients best interests first. For what is mentioned above is why I am interested in this CNA
position.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward in meeting with you to discuss my interest
in this nursing assistant position.

Sincerely,

Yadira Verastegui
