Registered Nurse Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently completed a shift in a fast paced ward where I helped coordinate care for patients with complex needs. In that environment I found that clear documentation and timely communication made the biggest difference to patient safety. For instance, I used standardised nursing notes and handover sheets to track changes in a patient’s condition over 24 hours, which reduced delays in therapy by about a quarter. I align with teams that value evidence based practice, thorough assessment and good patient education. I routinely perform clinical assessments, contribute to care planning, administer medications with careful monitoring, and document responses promptly. I’ve collaborated with doctors, allied health and families to ensure plans stay focused on outcomes and patient preferences. One recent case stands out. A patient admitted post surgery required careful fluid balance and pain management, with frequent updates to the family. I coordinated care with junior staff and the ward pharmacist, adjusted the plan as vitals shifted, and the patient moved from urgent to stable within 48 hours. The family reported clearer explanations and greater confidence in the plan. I’m keen to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I’m available for an in person or virtual chat and can provide references from [Previous Company] upon request. Kind regards, [Your Name]
