Philip Marmack, MSN, RN
Nurse Recruiter
Orlando Children’s Hospital
2500 Celebration Avenue
Orlando, FL 32801
Dear Mr. Marmack,
Please accept the attached resume as an application for one of the new graduate nurse positions
that were discussed during Orlando Children’s Hospital career fair, January 6, 2009. I recently
graduated from Emory University’s School of Nursing baccalaureate program with honors. In
addition to my 15 week practicum experience on a pediatric medical-surgical unit, I worked for
one year as a nurse extern at a children’s hospital in Atlanta, GA. I have been lucky enough to
have exceptional registered nurse mentors who have prepared me clinically and professionally
for my first position as a registered nurse following my graduation.
I would appreciate an opportunity to interview for one of the available positions in the new
graduate nurse program. I understand that Orlando Children’s Hospital has one of the best new
graduate nurse programs in the state, providing a 12 week orientation program with a preceptor.
I have spoken to several past participants from this program who have said that our orientation
program eased their role socialization and allowed them to refine their new skills and
experiences prior to taking on their responsibilities as an independent registered nurse.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon to set up an appointment for an interview with you
and your staff. If you have any questions prior to that time, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jackie M. Hammocks

Associate Dean
Central Florida University
School of Nursing
Orlando, FL 32801
Dear Dr. Alexander,
Please accept the attached curriculum vita as an application for one of the clinical instructor
positions advertised in the most recent edition of The Florida Nurse. I believe that I am well
qualified for this position in that I have been practicing as a registered nurse in pediatrics for 4
years and I am certified as a neonatal critical care nurse by the American Association of Critical
Care Nurses. I have also had the opportunity to act as a preceptor for several of your
undergraduate students in the neonatal intensive care unit and have found this experience to be
both challenging and rewarding.
I would appreciate an opportunity to interview for one of the clinical instructor positions. I
understand that Central Florida University’s School of Nursing NCLEX-RN pass rate is
consistently over 95%. In addition, I have had the opportunity to work with many of your
graduates as new registered nurses and have found them to be well prepared and clinically
competent. This is the type of nursing program that I would like to be a part of as clinical
instructor.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon to set up an appointment for an interview with you
and your faculty. If you have any questions prior to that time, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Sincerely,
Lauren Janofsky

Dear Mr. Marmack,
Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with me today about a new graduate nurse
position at Orlando Children’s Hospital. I found our conversation to be most interesting,
especially the details about the 12 week orientation program that is available. I know that this
opportunity will assist me in my role transition, particularly as I will be guided by an
experienced preceptor. I was also excited to hear about the possibility of beginning my nursing
career on the neurological/neurosurgical unit, a unit that has consistently received high marks by
patients and families, for their outstanding nursing care in The Florida Nurse.
It was a pleasure to meet with you today. As we discussed, I look forward to hearing back from
you within the next week about this exciting and challenging new graduate nurse position
opportunity.
Sincerely,
Jackie M. Hammocks
