Nurse Recruiter,
I am a licensed compassionate, prepared, and energetic young professional with excellent clinical experience. As
a 2015 magna cum laude graduate of California Baptist University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, I am
actively engaged in a job search to find just the right opportunity and I believe that St. Joseph Hospital would be a
perfect fit.
I wholeheartedly affirm St. Joseph Hospital’s mission to bring dignity, service, excellence and justice into
healthcare. The values of human dignity and respect are consistent with my academic training as well as personal
values, which emphasize the worth of each individual as uniquely valuable.
Let me share with you what makes me a unique and well-qualified candidate:
 Over 1,000 hours of clinical experience during which I have demonstrated strong prioritizing, leadership,
critical thinking, patient- and family-centered care, problem solving, and collaborative skills
 My preceptorship was on an Acute Medical-Surgical floor where I cared for various patients including
some on chemotherapy treatment and telemetry monitoring
 Strong academics, Provost list 2012-2015 and a member of Alpha Chi National Honors Society
 First aid medical experience working as an Emergency Medical Technician in an industrial setting
 A tireless spirit, strong intellectual capacity, and drive to succeed that I know will serve me well as I
further build my nursing career
My interest has always been to pursue a career in nursing and would welcome a personal interview at your
convenience. I can guarantee you that my work ethic, quality of performance, and commitment will proudly
represent your organization. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Michelle Rusher
