Re: Licensed Practical Nurse (Competition Number: KM-25794-MH)
Dear Sir/Maam,
I am submitting my application in response to your ad on Careers- Covenant Health website. Your job posting for
a Licensed Practical Nurse is exactly what I am looking for. With my extensive Practical Nursing education and
passionate work approach, I believe I would right fit into the job. The accompanying resume states my skills and
proficiency in providing quality nursing care to patients.
I am currently completing the Practical Nurse Refresher program at NorQuest College. During my Practical Nurse
training, I was taught the various ways in which individually based care plans can be tailored to a patients need
and I have the capacity to direct such a plan effectively. I also learned about theories in Health assessment,
Pharmacology and Nursing foundations. I have gained valuable skills and experience especially during my
Guided practice and CIAs with the help of my wonderful instructors at NorQuest. I am currently working as a
Healthcare aide for the Innovative Housing Society. In this job I am assisting patients with their morning care,
serving them meals, medication administration and attending to their needs for the entire shift. I also have a
current Standard First Aid-Level C and AED certificate.
I am confident that with my excellent patient care and professionalism, attention to detail, and positive attitude, I
would be a valuable asset to your team and would appreciate you reviewing my enclosed application and resume.
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Marice Jean Almaden
