Ms. Rhoanne Lange
Directress
Nurse Recruitment
Chinese General Hospital
Manila, Philippines

Dear Ms. Lange:

I am writing to apply for the psychiatric nurse position that was posted in the Philippine Nursing University’s Career Services Office. The position described in your posting matches my career goals and

qualifications.

As I have stated on the enclosed resume, I would like to use my nursing skills especially with people

who have mental disabilities. The excellent program at PNU has prepared me to undertake this

position. I have a psychiatric nursing experience at Philippine Mental Health Hospital for an eight-week period. During that time I was assigned to assist clients to regain and improve their coping skills or

abilities, and prevent further disability.

I have gained valuable experience working as a psychotherapist at Eastern View Medical Hospital for

two years. I was able to gain psychiatric experience on a fill-in basis on several occasions. We primarily provide a full range of mental health care services to individuals, families, groups and communities.

I would enjoy meeting you to further discuss my application. Please contact me at your earliest

convenience to arrange a time and date.

Sincerely,

Janice F. Lazarus
