Summary
Upon seeing the core values on your website regarding the company, I believe I am the perfect candidate to join your organization
One of my greatest desires is to emulate a nurse that provides hope, healing and the best care for patients and their families by taking my experience from the blood bank, laboratory, records and clinical experience and applying these skills to practical patient care. Bridging my experience on the Hematology Oncology unit, as well as, from physical/occupational therapy will allow me an opportunity to enhance my skills in this field, to grow as a nurse, and gift me the ability to work with seasoned nurses.
