Summary
I may not yet have a bachelors degree but I have applied to start this fall. I may not have a great deal of experience in floor/I.C.U. nursing, but I am ready and willing to learn. I will put in every effort to become a valuable member of the team. I do not think you would be disappointed if you gave me the opportunity.
