Cover Letter
2025-09-18, Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the New Graduate Nurse Residency Program at Northwestern Medicine. I recently graduated in September with my Associate's Degree in Nursing and passed the NCLEX on October 22nd. I am eager to begin my nursing career in an environment that values excellence, evidence-based practice, and compassionate, patient-centered care, qualities that Northwestern Memorial is known for. Throughout nursing school, I was drawn to Northwestern's reputation for clinical innovation and commitment to professional development. The hospital's emphasis on interdisciplinary teamwork and continued education aligns perfectly with my desire to grow as a skilled, confident nurse. My clinical rotations strengthened my ability to deliver safe and effective care while collaborating effectively with diverse healthcare teams. I am especially motivated by Northwestern's culture of mentorship and lifelong learning, which I believe will help me transition successfully from student to professional nurse. As a new graduate, I bring dedication, empathy, and a strong work ethic to every patient interaction. I am committed to upholding the high standards of care that define Northwestern Medicine and to contributing positively to your team and patients. Thank you for considering my application. I would be honored to bring my passion for nursing and commitment to excellence to the Northwestern Medicine's Nurse Residency Program. I welcome the opportunity to interview and further discuss how I can contribute to your team. Sincerely, Zofia Feilen, RN
