Part 1 Introduction
As a dedicated registered nurse, I am pleased and excited to have the opportunity to apply for the position of General Surgery Nurse Manager. I have been a loyal employee to Mary Washington Hospital for well over eight years now. I have a vast array of experience in nursing that I have obtained from working on several different units at the hospital. I started my nursing career by working on the general surgery ward and wish to return to the same unit to showcase my leadership skills. I am speaking to you today to highlight exactly why I would be perfect for the open nurse manager position. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me today.

I am speaking directly to the Director of Nursing for the post-surgical care department at Mary Washington Hospital. She has been the director for over 3 years and I used to work under her on the surgical unit when she was nurse manager.
Overview of Main Points

I have a wide array of experience in many different areas of nursing.
I provide exemplary customer service.
I have positive performance appraisals.
Internal hiring is ideal.
General Surgery Knowledge
I started my nursing career as a bedside nurse on this same surgical unit. I grew from a nervous orientee to the competent nurse that I am today. I relished the years I spent on the unit and the knowledge that I gained. During the five years that I previously worked on the general surgery unit; I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge. I am aware of the different surgical procedures that our patients undergo, and the exact plan of care needed to nurse patients back to health. With this knowledge, I have to ability to fill in on the floor and care for patients directly when staffing needs arise. I also have extensive working relationships with the surgeons on the floor. This allows for better communication between providers and an opportunity for the unit to provide better patient care. Effective communication is critical because insufficient communication between caregivers is one of the leading causes of medical errors and patient harm (1).
Multidisciplinary Knowledge
In addition to my years on the general surgery floor, I also have experience in other areas of nursing. I have worked on different units that include cardiac, rehab, orthopedic, palliative, pediatric, and oncology. All this experience has contributed to my success as a nurse because so m ...

Dear Linh Nguyen,
For over two years, I have worked on Georgetown University Hospital's Cardiothoracic
Intermediate Care Unit – a 609 bed-teaching hospital recognized with Magnet Status. My roles
have included acting as charge nurse and a preceptor. Previously, I worked at Lynchburg General
Hospital on the Pulmonary floor and Pulmonary Intermediate Care Unit for a year. My desire is to
transition to a critical care setting.
While I may not have experience working in an ICU, my experience, technical skills and assets
make me a prime candidate to transition to this new role. Among my piers, I am esteemed for my
clinical judgment and critical thinking – often being sought out for advice and input by fellow
nurses. Furthermore, I am calm and collected during emergent situations and readily take a
leadership role. Several of my colleagues have commented that they “wouldn't know what to do in
an emergency without [me].” I am ready to translate these skills into a higher acuity setting.
Since beginning my nursing career, my interests have broadened from basic patient care to the
advocacy for improved processes that lead to improved patient safety. Inefficient or outdated
practices can create risk for errors or oversight, and I have revised processes or new worked on
innovations to address such issues. As an example, our unit had issues with patients, who were
ordered for telemetry, going unmonitored for extended periods. The underlying problem was there
was no easy way to discern those who were ordered for telemetry from those who were not. I
developed a simple labeling system for the telemetry monitors that would inform nurses if a
patient was ordered for telemetry or pulse oximetry. Since its implementation, this system has
proven effective in ensuring patients are properly monitored.
I take a patient-oriented focus to nursing by focusing on the individual needs and demands of
each patient and their family. Every patient should be treated with kindness and respect, and it is
important to both involve patients' families in their loved one's care and promote patient
independence and self-determination. I am strong advocate for my patients' needs in open
discussion with doctors and others involved in their care. I often receive compliments by patients
on my professionalism and excellent care, and I recently received a SPIRIT award in recognition
of my excellence in patient care.
I am eager for the opportunity to work in a critical care setting where I can fully utilize my skills as
a nurse. I believe my experience and skills make me well suited for this position. Given the
opportunity, I work diligently to adapt quickly to this new environment while actively promoting
increased patient safety on a unit and hospital-wide scale. In this way, I believe I can help help
Northwest Hospital achieve its high standards of care. Feel free to contact me at 703.615.9160 or
abovab@gmail.com with any questions.
Sincerely,
Andrew Burton
