"Your organization's mission statement resonated with me. I feel I would be a good fit for the graduate nurse position in the ICU.

I received top grades in my clinical work and am an enthusiastic learner. I am easy to get along with but stand my ground ethically. I worked hard to get my license and won't jeopardize it. I am careful and thorough and ask for help when I need it but can also work independently. I feel that my work ethic, people skills, desire to learn, and overall commitment to quality make me a great candidate for this position."

"I completed many of my clinical rotations here. I could see that the nurses are hardworking and caring, and they work cooperatively with the doctors, the PAs, the NPs, and other healthcare staff. I also see that all of the nurses love to keep learning and improving patient care. I am hardworking and like to continuously learn, so I think I will be a great fit for the hospital culture."
