Dear__________________:

I am a recently credentialed Registered Respiratory Therapist eager to build a successful career as a member of your staff. To acquaint you with my qualifications, my resume is included for review; thank you for your time and consideration.

As noted, I earned my credentials after successfully graduating with an AAS in Respiratory Care earlier this year. Since that time, I have actively worked as a Respiratory Therapist with a nursing and rehabilitation center, developing solid hands-on experience in direct patient respiratory care and therapies, health and safety standards compliance and equipment setup, operation and maintenance. I have also developed effective skills in implementing physician orders and collaborating with interdisciplinary staff as well as building patient relations, providing education in respiratory therapies and efficiently managing my caseload to maximize use of time and resources. Complementing this, I am ACLS and BLS Certified.

As a Physical Therapist committed to providing superior patient care and focused on building a successful career as a member of your staff, I am confident I would be an asset to your organization. I welcome the opportunity to interview at your earliest convenience and look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Latisha Scott, RRT
