Dear Nurse Recruitment,

My name is Jillian Ferre, and I am currently in my final semester of nursing school. I am

graduating in December from the University of Arizona with my BSN. I have always been a
passionate learner and am proud of my growth mindset. I offer all my patients caring and
compassion, but I hope to continue learning how to establish boundaries and offer myself
compassion in my first year as a nurse.
I have had a wonderful and educational clinical experience at the University of Arizona.
Most recently, I completed my preceptorship in the Intensive Care Unit at Oro Valley Hospital. I
worked alongside my preceptor for five weeks, and by the end of the experience, I assumed a full
patient assignment with minimal direction from my preceptor. During my preceptorship, I
prioritized patient-centered care and received compliments from multiple patients and staff
members for my genuine caring. I am proud to have inspired this unit to create EKG strip bottles
for the family members of patients who passed away.
I believe my time in the customer service industry has prepared me for the professional
nurse role in many ways. I first developed my attention to detail and organizational skills during
my time as a hostess, and I continue to bring this keen eye to the clinical setting. Furthermore, I
developed active listening and conflict-resolution skills as a waitress. Because of my history as a
competitive ski racer, I am aware of my imperfections, and, as a result, I have developed a
growth mindset. My growth mindset will serve me well in a nurse residency, allowing me to
receive feedback well and make the most of the learning opportunities.
Because of my attention to detail, growth mindset, and compassion, I believe I will excel in a
nurse residency program. I would love to discuss your facility and what I can contribute to the
organization in an interview. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Jillian Ferre
