Dear__________________:

Please accept this letter and accompanying resume in application for admission to the University of Utah s School of Nursing Program. In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

As a current student of the Health Professionals Academy, I will be earning my CNA credential by the end of the year and have successfully completed an internship at Salt Lake Regional Hospital. I also possess years of volunteer experience at Primary Children s Hospital and extensive interaction with the pediatric patient population. My academic background at East High School is exceptional and includes multiple awards and certificates. To complement these qualifications, I have an unwavering passion for medicine and helping others, as indicated by my trips abroad to help the disadvantaged as well as numerous volunteer assignments in the community.

If selected for this program, you will find me to be a self-motivated professional committed to achieving my academic goals and establishing a career in nursing. It is my goal to become a Pediatric Surgical Nurse and I believe my hands-on experience in hospital settings has prepared me well. I am confident that I would be an asset to the University of Utah and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Yyyyyy x. yyyyyy
