Licensed Practical Nurse Cover Letter Sample 1:
I was told by Dr. Jacob Millstone that you’re looking for new LPNs at the Foster Clinic. As a fully licensed nurse with nine years of experience on the job, I believe I would make an excellent addition to your team.
I currently work at St. Mary’s Medical Center and have been for the past five years. In addition to all the regular duties required of an LPN, including taking vitals, wrapping bandages, and filling out patient forms, I’ve also been tasked with basic laboratory duties and know how to handle delicate samples. I obtained special certification in gerontology in 2013 and am considered one of the clinic’s experts in older patients. I have references that will attest to this; I’ve attached them with my resume.
Having looked at your official job listing, I can say with confidence that I either meet or exceed all of your expectations for an LPN. A few of the particulars:
I’ve cleaned, sanitized, and organized hundreds of exam rooms, and I comply with all health department standards when disposing of needles or waste.
I’ve obtained Basic Life Support (BLS) certification and am trained in contemporary CPR/AED.
I work well with all levels of the clinic staff, including physicians, administrators, and other nurses. I’ve assisted with many tasks over the years and can also be counted on to lead and train new LPNs as they’re hired.
I’ve never breached patient confidentiality and never will.
My philosophy is that the patient always comes first. No matter what’s going on in my personal life or with the rest of the staff, I always maintain an air of warmth and professionalism at work because that’s what the patients need. That’s why we’re working. The patient is king.
I believe my values will intersect nicely with those at the Foster Clinic; I’ve done research into your facility and am quite impressed. I especially enjoy your mission statement, and I agree 100 percent with everything you said about honor. That’s the kind of integrity I bring to work every day, and it’s the kind of nurse I always want to be.
If you have any questions about my credentials or nursing skills, I’d love to sit down with you and have a face-to-face interview. I can be reached by phone or E-mail. I’m also available for Skype interviews. Thank you for your time, and I hope you’ll consider me for the position.

I’m writing regarding the LPN position you currently have posted. As a state-certified LPN with six years of experience working in intense, fast-paced healthcare environments, I believe I would make a valuable addition to Methodist North Hospital.
I started my career at the Dobmann Medical Center after obtaining my associate’s degree in nursing from Southwest Tennessee Community College. While doing rounds, administering basic medical care, and absorbing all the day-to-day knowledge I could, I also took and passed the NCLEX-PN exam.
I’m now a fully licensed LNP and ready to join your team at Methodist North. I’m a dedicated, hardworking individual who always puts the patient before myself, and I think I would do well in your facility.
Your ad caught my eye because you stated that you’re looking for independent self-starters who can work without supervision. While I do report to RNs in my current position, I’m also the leader of the junior nurses, and I’m the one they come to with questions and concerns. I’ve personally trained six nurses new to our clinic and assisted with the training of a dozen more.
You also said you’re looking for someone who can handle basic administrative tasks. I do all my filing, faxing, and printing, and I’m quite skilled with computers as well, creating spreadsheets, expense reports, and intake forms with ease.
You didn’t necessitate this in your job listing, but I’m also fluent in Spanish. I’ve found it to be a valuable skill while working with a diverse range of patients, and I’ve received personal thank-you notes from patients and families who were relieved that someone like me was on staff.
Nursing is my life. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do, and I went straight to college after graduating high school to get my degree and start my career. I’m passionate and committed to healthcare, which is one of the reasons I attend expos and medical seminars on my dime, soaking up new knowledge and always looking for newer and better ways to save lives.
I believe I would be an excellent addition to your hospital, and I’d be delighted if you gave me a chance for a sit-down interview. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.
