Transferable Skills Letter

For a position as a Registered Nurse in the Intensive Care Unit:

I embarked on my journey to become a Critical Care Nurse at the young age of 16. Working at a local Care Center for the elderly, I developed a passion for helping others. It was during that time that I completed the requirements for and passed the state exam to become a Certified Nurse Assistant. I have gained valuable experience working in a variety of settings, including Nursing and Rehabilitation Centers, Home Health Care, and the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. I developed critical thinking skills and the ability to quickly solve problems as I helped mentally-challenged residents on a lock-down unit. The three years I have recently spent as a Critical Care Tech in the Intensive Care Unit have taught me how to respond compassionately and professionally in the most stressful of situations. I have experienced first-hand what is required of Critical Care Nurses, and am fully prepared to give my all to the patients, families, and fellow coworkers of the Intensive Care Unit. I look forward to learning with and from the Nurses, Doctors, and other members of the Intensive Care team.
