Nurse Practitioner Cover Letters

A nurse practitioner is a certified advanced medical practitioner nurse with a master's or a diploma degree in nursing. They are registered practitioners having a good understanding due to extensive training and specialized education. They are trained in diagnostics thus providing the doctors with a better equipped support staff. They conduct medical history review, present symptoms study and blood tests in order to diagnose a disease in patients. They are basically the first ones who come in contact with the patients when they are admitted to the hospital. It is their primary responsibility to take care of the patients and look into their day to day progress.

They are national board certified in U.S. with education in family health, pediatrics, ENT, and other specialized medical fields like Women's health, ophthalmology, etc.

While writing a nurse practitioner resume cover letter, one must specify their affiliations and details of their full training. Two sample cover letters, one for an experienced applicant and the other for a fresher, have been given here. Refer to them to structure your own cover letters.

Subject- Application for the post of Nurse Practitioner

Dear Vincent,

I want to apply for the post of nurse practitioner in the pediatrics section. I saw this vacancy on your hospital website www.greenglowmedical.com. Speaking about my previous experience, I was a nurse practitioner in the Family Health (FNP) department of the Sacred Heart Hospital from 2010-2013. Here my job role covered check-up of the patients and making suitable prescriptions and overseeing the outpatients. A part of my duties also included administration work- taking phone calls, arranging appointments, consultations, follow-up and maintaining patients' record. I was also responsible for the pediatrics' junior staff.

During my work experience of three years, I have also worked independently across different states on various hospital-sponsored medical camps. This included setting up of pediatric camps in schools, local communities and other backward areas.

Speaking of my education, I have done my Masters in Nursing from Nobel Medical Sciences College, New York. I am a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and hold National Board for Pediatrics certification.

I am attaching my resume encompassing my complete relevant work. Along with it, I am also sending in copies of recognition certificates from various institutes and my hospital. I hope to get this job and contribute my bit towards securing a better, healthy future for our patients.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

(Signature)

For a fresher candidate, you can mention about your internships and affiliations with related organizations. Because you have no actual work experience, you have to make your nursing internships, pediatrician and classroom experience do the trick. Also it will be of great help to mention about any voluntary medical work that you might have undertaken previously.
