Aged Care Nurse Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years caring for residents in aged care, and I’ve learned that good care hinges on everyday choices. In my current role I helped streamline medication administration and nursing assessments for a wing of 32 residents, which cut delays in care plans by about 20 minutes per shift. I think this is the kind of practical, steady improvement that [Company Name] would value. My day to day revolves around assessment, care planning and multidisciplinary collaboration. I follow clear clinical decision making, document changes accurately, and keep families informed with honest, plain language. I’m comfortable coordinating care with GPs, physios and cooks, and I supervise enrolled nurses to ensure we stay aligned on priorities and safety. There was a shift when one resident’s wound care plan needed adjusting after a change in treatment. I updated the plan, communicated with the family, and checked the response weekly with the team. Within three weeks the wound showed signs of healing, and the whole care team felt more confident about how we monitored progress and adjusted therapies. I’d be glad to discuss how my experience fits the [Company Name] team. I’m available for a chat and can share more detail about how I approach care planning, documentation and patient education. Kind regards, [Your Name]
