January 31, 2022
Dear Hiring Manager,
On April 3, 2022, I will officially be graduating with my Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. I anticipate taking my NCLEX to be licensed as a Registered Nurse in the following month or so and hopefully join the Nurse Residency program with the University of Miami Health System. I am eager to start my career as a nurse and to make a positive impact in this role.
I have always had a passion for helping people, and while there are many career options that would have allowed me to do so, a career in nursing made sense for me. I have worked in corrections for 15 years assisting inmates, ensuring their safety and the safety of the personnel, and aiding in the rehabilitation efforts. In this job, my mom fell ill, and I was responsible for ensuring that she was taken care of also. These circumstances strengthened my faith and empowered me to do more and love on people when they are at their lowest. As a nurse, I look forward to providing care with compassion, respect, and integrity to best serve the needs of my patients.
When researching organizations to work at, it was important for me to work with an organization who values its employees by offering great benefits, values its patients through compassionate patient care, and values its community as Memorial Regional Hospital has done for the South Florida community through research, education, and philanthropy. Memorial Hospital is also home to highly trained specialists focused on providing state-of-the-art medical care, which aligns with my long-term goals of learning from the best healthcare team. I know the training I receive here will help me reach those goals.
When asked what areas of nursing I plan on pursuing a career in, it is usually difficult to decide. If I had to choose, it would probably be Pediatrics, Emergency Department, or Intensive Care Unit. However, I remain open to exploring all opportunities presented to me, and learn and grow in whatever areas I am placed in. I thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy collaborating with others. I also enjoy leading others into action and am also keen on prioritizing my workload. Lastly, I believe that nurses need to be organized, detail-oriented, empathetic, passionate about what they do, and always operate with integrity—all qualities I believe make me a great candidate for this position. The residency program will help provide additional training needed to better acclimate to the clinical setting and set the tone for a well-rounded nursing foundation to become a successful nurse.
I am eager to discuss the possibilit

To Whom this may concern,
My name is Latoya Strickland, I am proud to offer my recommendation for Majory Joseph to whom I have personally known for one year at West Coast University. I was Majory’s clinical professor. Majory was an excellent student with remarkable attention to detail.

In addition, Majory is exceptionally gifted at making patients feel comfortable and always maintaining a positive atmosphere.

Nursing Essentials
The nursing essentials identify the key competencies that graduate nurses should possess to effectively deliver high-quality care focusing on improvement of outcomes (American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), 2008). The various education programs, including graduate entry and baccalaureate education, should equip nurses with the skills to deliver the outcomes outlined in the nine essentials. Essential I requires graduates to integrate the knowledge learned from different subjects in nursing practice. For example, using the knowledge learned from performing arts, such as music, to administer holistic care (Sonke et al., 2015).
Essential II recognizes the need for system and organization leadership to deliver quality care and improve patient safety. For example, the leadership skills learned from this education program would be essential in developing effective relationships with other providers to facilitate care coordination (Joseph & Huber, 2015).
Essential III focuses on the integration of evidence-based practice in nursing care. For example, the baccalaureate program facilitates understanding of how to apply current evidence from research to make better clinical decisions and improve patient outcomes. Nurses need the skills to apply evidence-based findings in their practice to make better clinical judgments (Black et al., 2015).
Essential IV recognizes the need for graduate nurses to possess technical skills to apply patient care technology in their practice. For example, graduate nurses are encouraged to understand how to use computers and other information technology systems to collect and ethically use patient data. Digital literacy is the future of the nursing profession (Anderberg et al., 2019).
Essential V requires graduates to understand health policies and other regulatory policies that influence nursing practice. For example, the understanding of the state licensure allows nurses to understand their scope of practice. Understanding health policies allow nurses to effectively perform their advocacy role (Arabi et al., 2014).
Essential VI recognizes the importance of effective communication and collaboration of interdisciplinary healthcare professionals in improving patient outcomes. For example, interprofessional communication skills learned in baccalaureate education allow nurses to develop collegial relationships and trust among healthcare team members. Interprofessional communication skills are essential in developing and implementing collaborative patient care strategies (Busari et al., 2017).
Essential VII emphasizes clinical prevention and the promotion of the health of populations. For examp

Nursing Philosophy

NURS 497
Professor D. Jaramillo

Nursing Philosophy
A nursing philosophy identifies an individual’s personal beliefs, ethics, motivation, and values in the nursing profession. Standard nursing values are human dignity, respect, autonomy, social justice, and honesty. These core values reflect the nursing profession’s human and spiritual approaches (Karlsson & Pennbrant, 2020). I presume that to enhance the promotion and delivery of care, it is crucial that, as a nurse, I should possess specific fundamental values such as love, empathy, and understanding of the patients’ values to effectively discharge my duties. My nursing philosophy is to provide universal, sensitive, understanding, ethical and accepted care to all patients.
I view health as a holistic concept that encompasses all aspects of comfort. It does not only seek to address the absence of diseases, but also the general well-being of an individual. It is a state where a person is mentally, physically, and socially well. An individual can lead an objective, culturally, and economically productive life. To make decisions that promote efficient care delivery, a nurse must apply critical thinking skills. Growth in critical thinking focuses on traits such as confidence, patience, and creativity (Chan, 2019). By using my critical thinking skills, I pursue to enhance and champion the health of patients. Keeping an open mind, being a team player, and handling challenging tasks are some of the ways in which I have advanced my critical thinking skills.
My future nursing roles would include emergency room (ER) nurse, intensive care unit (ICU) nurse and pediatric nurse. The field of delivering nurse care is evolving, and the roles of nurses have to adjust to these changes. An ER nurse works in a team of other medical professionals to provide care for patients with different illnesses, diseases, and conditions requiring immediate attention. The role of an ICU nurse is to deliver care to patients who suffer from serious diseases, such as heart attack, stroke, or those that have undergone surgery. The role of a pediatric nurse is essential to provide medical care to pediatric patients, including infants, children, or adolescents. A pediatric nurse offers emotional support, guidance, counseling, and education to children and their parents or guardians.
