ㅡ Barrow Neurological Institute @ St. Joseph’s Hospital 811 E Wetmore Rd Unit 5202 350 W Thomas Rd Tucson, AZ 85719 Phoenix, AZ 85013 602.318.4089 vharvey@email.arizona.edu Dear Hiring Manager,
As a full-time nursing student and patient care technician (PCT) in
the Emergency Department, the advertisement for RN in Neuro ICU sparked my interest. When reviewing the position requirements and your organization's website, I was excited to find that my qualifications and personal strengths align with your needs and mission.
I bring a comprehensive set of skills that I believe will be valuable
to St. Joseph’s Hospital and Barrow Neurological Institute . Throughout my nursing school career, I have learned many skills that would be beneficial in my role as an ICU nurse, such as monitoring vital signs, understanding lab values, recognizing changes in patient condition, and keeping sterility when needed while always being cognizant of infection control procedures. I understand the importance of patient advocacy and promoting patient autonomy in their care experience. I am able to utilize holistic approaches and strive to be more culturally competent each day. I am compliant with HIPAA confidentiality when communicating to families and the health care team in obtaining the best care for my patients.
I am eager to learn and gain experience from this opportunity
that would enhance my critical-thinking skills and exposure to a high-acuity environment with ranging circumstances. It is a priority for me to learn how to not compromise quality patient care and ‘humankindness’ in a fast-paced setting. I will be proactive in my RN responsibilities to communicate with and assist other hospital staff when needed to ease each patients’ stay and ensure the best outcomes.
