"Your hospital is known as one of the premier thought leaders in nursing, and this is where I want to be. I consider myself an enthusiastic lifelong learner of all things nursing, and this organization is a great opportunity to continue my journey. I like the people and the nursing philosophy at your organization. There is an opportunity for growth and very low staff turnover, which speaks volumes about the care of nurses here. I've worked hard to become a board-certified cardiology nurse, and you have one of the best cardiac nursing programs in the state."

"After researching your organization and speaking with the administration and other healthcare professionals, I believe I will be a great fit due to my expertise as a charge nurse in various units. I am well-rounded and can work in the emergency department, the ICU, the pediatric NICU, and labor and delivery. Although I am interviewing to work as a charge nurse on the medical floor, I have the expertise to cover other areas if needed."
I feel I am a good fit for your organization because of my past experience as a registered nurse and nurse manager. The clinical experience and knowledge that I have gained through my over 10 years' experience as a floor nurse along with my several years' experience as a nurse manager have positioned me well to be a great charge nurse within your organization. I have been able to really refine my skills in nursing care as well as leadership, organization and policy changes.
