Why this nurse cover letter works

The structure is Care setting → Patient outcomes → Licence → Why this hospital. Here is what each part is doing.

  1. 1

    Setting

    Name unit, bed count, and patient group. Nurse managers hire for fit with the unit.

  2. 2

    Care approach

    Use safety and communication evidence: accuracy, handover method, education, precepting.

  3. 3

    Licence

    Registration, expiry, and life-support certificates are the first things verified.

  4. 4

    Why here

    One specific, true reason for choosing this hospital beats praise for 'excellent reputation'.

Do this

  • • State patient ratio and unit type
  • • List licence and BLS/ACLS expiry
  • • Mention languages used with patients

Avoid

  • • 'Passionate about caring' with no detail
  • • Listing duties outside your licence scope
  • • Missing registration number
