How will your new nursing knowledge change your future nursing practice?
How will you communicate the value of these competencies to your current position or a position you may seek in the future?
Research a job within the nursing profession (not necessarily in your own community) that you would like to apply for, and discuss your qualifications and competencies that speak to that position in a cover letter to the employer.

Dear Human Resources,
Nursing is in my blood. For over 22 years, I have circulated and scrubbed for some of the best cardiac surgeons in the country. I have managed numerous nurses over the years and advocated for hundreds of patients from all backgrounds, diversities and age groups. I am well versed in ethical nursing care and the means and methods to provide optimal assistance to the medical teams and optimal care to the patients. My years in the OR have provided me the experience, knowledge, and resources to manage and lead a nursing team. I am most interested in Hoag Hospital because of its reputation for the being the best hospital in Orange County due to its incredible medical team. Hoag Hospital is respected for its innovation, patient care and first-class nurses. I believe my skills and experience is a perfect fit for the Hoag culture. I have the practical experience, continued education and professional work ethic to be an asset to your team. I hope you will consider me for the role of Clinical Line Manager in The Operating room so that I, too, can make an impact in the community the way Hoag has for over 70 years. As a member of the medical field, I respect Hoag and its employees for the role it has played in the advancement of both the medical field and its team members.
My resume is attached for your review and consideration. Please note my skills and achievements line up with the mission and vision of Hoag Hospital. I look forward to discussing with you further.
Sincerely,

Effective leaders must communicate effectively with their followers to ensure the successful realization of organizational goals and objectives. Both leadership and communication skills are used in an organization to improve the safety, quality, and cost of healthcare. The knowledge and competencies learned during the course will be applied to advance my future professional practice as a nurse. For example, I will utilize evidence-based practice competencies to make clinical decisions and select nursing interventions whose effectiveness is supported by research. The application of evidence-based practice will ensure that patients receive quality and safe care. This minimizes the wastage of resources thereby limiting healthcare expenditure and hospital costs. Besides, I will utilize my leadership skills and knowledge to create a culture that supports quality and safety in the organization. Employees who understand the culture of an organization remain committed to upholding that culture and creating an environment that promotes safety and quality.
The competencies and skills learned during the course are relevant and useful when they can be applied in professional practice to generate some positive impacts. The best way to communicate the value of competencies and skills acquired during the course to current or future positions is to maintain clarity when explaining how those skills support the realization of desired goals and mission. I am an operating room nurse with 15 years of experience in scrubbing and circulating cases. I have been a clinical line manager for Cardiac and Vascular services. In communicating such skills, competencies, and experiences, one should use tools such as a cover letter to outline the key skills and competencies required for a job position. Below is a cover letter that was developed in an attempt to fill a vacant nursing profession.
