Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the Registered Nurse position on the medical-surgical unit at Maple Grove Hospital. I am an RN with a BSN and nine years of acute-care experience, and your hospital’s reputation for patient-centred care is what draws me to this role.
On my current medical-surgical unit at St. Mary’s Hospital, I care for six to eight acute patients per shift with a consistent record of zero medication errors. I restructured shift handover to cut assessment wait times by 22%, and I led a hand-hygiene initiative that reduced hospital-acquired infections by 18%.
Clinical skill matters, but so does how patients and families experience their care — I have held a 98% patient-satisfaction rating across more than a thousand survey responses, and I take pride in mentoring new nurses as a preceptor.
I would be glad to discuss how my experience could support your unit. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Aisling Murphy
