Staff Nurse Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last several years working at the bedside in busy wards and have learned how small, consistent habits protect patients. In my current role I’ve helped manage shifts of up to 12 patients, and I’ve kept error rates low by sticking to a clear medication administration process. I recently recorded a peak week where I documented every change in patient condition within an hour of observation, which helped the team adjust care quickly. I’m drawn to [Company Name] because your team values thorough, practical nursing alongside solid teamwork. My strengths include bedside care, accurate medication administration, patient monitoring, and maintaining up-to-date documentation. I’m comfortable using standard hospital systems and I’m used to coordinating with junior staff and allied health to keep care on track. One recent shift stands out. We had a patient with complex needs and fluctuating vitals, so I collaborated with the rapid response team and adjusted the plan in real time. By prioritising clear handovers and documenting changes promptly, we stayed ahead of potential instability and significantly improved the patient’s comfort and safety over 48 hours. I’m available to chat about how I can contribute to your team at [Company Name]. I can adapt to roster needs and am happy to provide further detail on my experience during a face-to-face discussion. Kind regards, [Your Name]
