Dear Nurse Recruitment,
This letter is in response to the RN Residency program at Rady Childrens Hospital San
Diego. I am highly interested in this new graduate position due to the comprehensive
curriculum and one-on-one preceptor training this renowned program provides. My
passion has always been devoted to pediatric care and this hospital not only gives me the
ability to practice within that population but also provides the opportunity to explore all
the dimensions of pediatric healthcare.
I will graduate from the University of Arizona in December 2015 with a baccalaureate
degree in Nursing and a minor in Family Studies and Human Development. My GPA is
currently 3.55, and I am an active member of the honor society of nursing organization,
Beta Mu chapter of Sigma Theta Tau. I discovered my love for pediatric healthcare
throughout my pediatric clinical rotation. During my final five-week preceptorship on the
pediatric bone marrow transplant unit my passion for oncology care was solidified. This
experience taught me the necessary skills needed to perform in this specialized
community and allowed me to take on the role of the nurse by providing care for 3-4
acute oncology patients per shift.
The mission of this facility greatly reflects my personal belief system connecting to
healthcare. The promotion of healthier futures, advancements in medical knowledge, and
the working together to better the lives of patients and their families, greatly resonates
with me. As demonstrated by my history in working with children this facility possesses
the ideal qualities for my future career within the pediatric field. I hope I can be given the
opportunity to display my diligent work ethic and devotion to learning.
Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to speaking with you in the
future. Please see my resume for additional information on my experience. I can be
reached anytime via email: rmcparlane@email.arizona.edu or my cell phone: (858) 4374738.
Sincerely,
Rayna McParlane
