So I went for an interview last Thursday and got the job immediately. I take my state board exam on Tuesday and then once I find out my scores (provided they are passing..) then I'd be able to start. They called me yesterday and said they wanted to hold off on hiring anybody, but to still call them with my test scores and save their number and they'll call me.![]()
JFC, so all I have to put on a resume is stripping and some stupid ass retail/waitress jobs so I've just been submitting a letter in lieu of a resume. I feel I've worked hard enough to get through nursing school that I can hold out and take a job that I'll love. So long story a little shorter, I emailed my husband a copy of my "resume" to fax to a few places for me. He called me back and pointed out that almost every sentence starts with "I" and it sounds bad.
I'm fucking exhausted, I've been studying all day, I'm stressed because I can't find a job even though there is a "severe shortage" of nurses.. I'm pretty good with grammar and English but I can't figure out how to reword this letter.. Can anybody help me? I'm so stressed I'm crying and I feel like an incompetent loser.![]()
Here's the letter:
To whom it may concern,
I graduated from the Vocational Nursing program at Temple College on
May 10, 2008. I currently hold a temporary license and am eligible to work. I
am scheduled to take the NCLEX to get my state license on September 2, 2008.
I completed a two day NCLEX review course through Nursing Education
Consultants and I don't anticipate any problems passing. I graduated with
mostly A's and B's and scored a 902 on the HESSI exit exam. During the
nursing program I gained a year of experience during my clinical rotations. I
have not had a job yet due to being a stay at home mom for two years and
going to school.
I feel I am very qualified for this position because I hold patient's
safety and comfort as a top priority as well as safety for myself and other
staff members. From the first day of clinicals I have treated all of my
patients as I would want myself or a family member to be treated and I will
continue to do so throughout my nursing career. I am an extremely hard
worker, a fast learner, a team player, outgoing and I enjoy staying busy. I
also feel that my being a brand new nurse can be an asset to your company
because I don't have any habits or methods of doing things from previous
jobs. I will be trained to do things the way your company does them. I would
appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss my
qualifications.
Thank you for your consideration,
My name
