Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the position as Family Nurse Practitioner. After reviewing your job description, you are looking for a candidate that is extremely familiar with the responsibilities associated with the role and can perform them confidently. Given these requirements, I am certain that I have the necessary skills to successfully do the job adequately and perform above expectations. I am a results-oriented nurse who completed my master's in nursing degree May 16, 2021 (3.7 GPA, MSN - Family Nurse Practitioner) from Walden University. I have passed the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners exam, and I have obtained my DEA credentials. During my academic studies, I learned evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients in all age groups throughout the lifespan. I also managed to accrue nearly 30 years of work experience. I had the privilege of working for several acute care facilities in a registered nurse role for more than 18 years, where I increased my knowledge in the care of acute medical and surgical patients as well as emergency care of patients. In both my academic and professional life, I have been consistently praised as hard-working by my professors and peers. Whether working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply proven teamwork, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, which I hope to leverage into my continuing career in nursing. After reviewing my resume, I hope you will agree that I am the type of competent and competitive candidate you are looking for.
