April 15, 2010 - PRLog -- One of the most sought after jobs today are related to medical professions such as nurses. However, it is a fact that competitions are so tight. So, to standout among the rest, nurses are advised to write a good nursing cover letter when applying for a nursing post.

Remember, every time you are passing your resume; make sure that it is accompanied with a good cover letter. The cover letter will help the employer to focus on reading your credentials. It will give you the opportunity to explain the reasons why you are applying for that position. Likewise, it must also indicate your interests in their organization.

The cover letter should target specific aspects in your resume that will correspond to the employer's specific needs. It is important that you are knowledgeable about the person and the organization. In this manner, you will be able to focus on the things that will give genuine interests to the employer. It is a mortal sin when writing a cover which just addresses "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madame". Address your letter to a specific person. In case it was not listed in the advertisement, make a call to the organization to ask who will be the addressee of your letter.

Moreover, the employer will first meet you in your cover letter together with your resume. It is advisable to print it on a high quality bond paper using the standard business format. Always check for grammatical errors and misspelled words. Make sure that you use the same paper in printing both your resume and cover letter.

There are four main areas of a nursing cover letter that should be given an adequate attention by nurses.

1.   Introduction. It explains the reasons why you are applying for the position. Be specific. The organization and the position should be always mentioned. State how or where you learned about the job opening. Never forget to write about your present status. Take for instance; you are going to finish your masteral degree in nursing and you learned about the hiring. The introduction should say something about considering your application. If you learned the hiring from a friend or acquaintance, then mention his or her name.

2.   Highlighting your educational background and work-related experiences. It should stress your potential that will make you qualified for the applied position. Never repeat what is written in your resume. Just select the aspects that will interest your employer. Give direct emphasis on important medical and professional accomplishments.
