LETTER 5-95: REGISTERED NURSE—WORKFORCE RETURN
Dr. Phoebe Williamson
The Sacred Heart Academy
40 Lakeview Drive RE: Your City Times ad
Galveston, TX 09876 for a Registered Nurse
Dear Dr. Williamson:
Given the reputation for excellence that you maintain at The Sacred
Heart Academy, you hold equally rigorous standards in your search for a
Registered Nurse to care for your students and faculty.
Excellence is exactly what I can deliver, along with an unusually strong
background in health care.
My resume, which is enclosed, details the depth of my experience with
newborns, grade-level children, adolescents, and young adults of college
age. As you’ll see, I have worked as a Student Health Nurse, Camp
Nurse, Family Camp Coordinator, hospital Staff Nurse in labor and
delivery, and Nursing Care Coordinator. These assignments, along with
my work as a Nurse Coordinator for a Perinatal HIV Transmission
Study, honed my ability to deal with children and their parents with
understanding, warmth, and humor.

During the past several years, I reduced my workload outside the home
while raising two sons. I am now ready and eager to return to nursing,
and to continue combining exceptional medical care with compassionate
patient care.
The opportunity to pursue these objectives as a member of Sacred
Heart’s highly respected staff is an important one. I do hope that you’ll
allow me to present my qualifications to you in person.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Kerry A. Childs
