Dear Sir/Madame,
I recently saw your RN opening on Upstate’s website. In May, I will be graduating from Cayuga
Community College with an Associates of Applied Science in Nursing. I am highly interested in
joining your team. From my résumé, you will see that my experience matches the respected
qualifications listed for this position.
I have considerable experience working in hospitals and medical centers. Throughout my
clinical experience, I have had opportunities to enhance my nursing skills, such as inserting foley
catheters, inserting nasogastric tubes, changing wound dressings, and administering a wide
variety of medications. I am a patient advocate by critically thinking to make sure the patient
gets the best care provided and can return to the community in the shortest amount of time
needed. I work well with others and highly believe that collaboration is the most effective way
to providing the highest quality of patient care.
I welcome the opportunity to communicate more about this position at your convenience. I will
contact you in the next two weeks to see if you require any additional information regarding my
qualifications. If there is any further information that you require from me ahead of time, please
feel free to contact me at the information above. I am enthusiastic to apply my energy,
education, and experience to Upstate University Downtown Hospital. I look forward to
communicating with you soon.
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,

Jacqueline G O’Connor
