Cover Letters for Medical Jobs (Nursing)
A medical cover letter is a letter sent along with the resume when applying for a job in the medical field. It is a small document, which compliments your resume. It should be written in such an impressive manner that it should compel the employer to read your resume and call you for an interview.
Sending a cover letter is a tricky situation; it can be disastrous if you send a disappointing cover letter. The employer might not even look at your resume if your cover letter is full of mistakes and does not show your qualities in the best way possible. Therefore, it is very necessary to give importance to your resume cover letter and compose it in the proper format.
Moreover, in the medical field, it is very necessary these days to possess good communications skills. If your resume speaks volumes about your job profile skills, communication and people skills, then your resume is sure to receive the attention it deserves and you will be called for an interview. Therefore, it is extremely important for medicos to give attention to the cover letters as well.
Here are some medical cover letter examples for you to refer:

Your advertisement in Employment Today for the position of a Pediatric Nurse excites me mainly because I have been looking for this opening for quite some time and I am a certified Pediatric Nurse with 5 years of work experience in this field. Attached is my resume for your perusal.
I work quite well with infants which has led me to pursue a career in this field. I worked with Little Wonders Health Care while residing in Tennessee for the past 7 years. Unfortunately after moving to Georgia since 6 months, I have been working as a General Nurse for New Era Health Care owing to fewer opportunities in the Pediatric Section. I would be glad to take your opportunity and assure you that I would perform my level best as per your expectations. I also feel that my knowledge in this department would prove fruitful for your healthcare.
