Dear Hiring Manager,

 I am writing to express my strong interest in joining your team as a student nurse. With four years of CNA experience across rehabilitation, long-term care, and acute care settings, combined with my extensive clinical rotations, I am confident in my ability to deliver safe, compassionate, and patient-centered care. My passion for nursing began early in life through personal family experiences, and it has continued to grow throughout my journey in the Associate Degree Nursing Program at Randolph Community College. Throughout my program, I have gained experience in Mother/Baby, NICU, PACU, medical–surgical units, mental health, community health, and progressive care environments. I have developed strengths in communication, teamwork, organization, and clinical judgment. I am particularly passionate about family-centered care and supporting patients through both routine and vulnerable moments. What sets me apart is my dedication to empathy, my desire to grow, and my ability to remain calm, focused, and adaptable in fast-paced clinical environments. I consistently seek opportunities to expand my clinical knowledge and refine my skills. My supervisors and instructors commend my reliability, communication skills, and positive rapport with patients and families. I would love the opportunity to bring my dedication, work ethic, and compassion to your organization. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team and continuing my growth as a future RN.

Sincerely, 

Kara Caudill
