Registered Nurse Cover Letter

Dear Mr. Okafor,

I am writing to apply for the Registered Nurse position in the cardiac telemetry unit at Summit Health Medical Center. With six years of acute care experience and a track record of improving patient outcomes through evidence-based practice, I am confident I can contribute to your team from day one.

In my current role at Riverside Community Hospital, I manage a patient load of 5-6 cardiac patients per shift on a 32-bed telemetry unit. Over the past two years, I led a bedside handoff initiative that reduced medication errors on our floor by 34% and improved HCAHPS communication scores from the 61st to the 89th percentile. I also precept new graduate nurses and developed an orientation checklist that our department adopted unit-wide, cutting new hire onboarding time by two weeks.

What draws me to Summit Health is your Magnet designation and your investment in nurse-led quality improvement. I hold my CCRN certification and am currently completing my BSN, which I expect to finish in August. I want to work in an environment where clinical excellence is supported by the institution, and Summit Health's shared governance model is exactly that.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my cardiac care experience and commitment to quality improvement can support your unit's goals. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Rachel Moreno, RN, CCRN
