Dear
Hello. My name is Leslie Howland and I am interested in a position as an Operating Room nurse for Lancaster General Hospital. I graduated from the Lancaster General College of Nursing and Health Sciences with an Associates Degree in applied Sciences with a Nursing Major in May 2011. In addition to being a member of the College's Dean's List for two semesters, I received both my B.A. in Communications and my M.A. in English Literature from Shippensburg University in 1985 and 1990. I used my education as a writer and proofreader for TV Guide Magazine and The Philadelphia Inquirer and later taught English Composition at Rowan University. In 2004, I started a successful pottery business while at home raising my three sons. Although nursing is a new career change for me, I have wanted to be a nurse since I was sixteen and a candy striper in my hometown hospital. I would be happy to forward any further information you may require, and I would be please to appear for a personal interview at your convenience. I can be reached at my home phone of 717-627-4768 or my email of lh005@lancastergeneralcollege.edu. I have enclosed a copy of my resume for you review.
Sincerely.
Leslie Howland

Statement of Beliefs about Profession
Description of Profession I would like to work alongside physicians in the operating room, track patient's vital signs during operations and supervise the others in the room including surgical technologists and medical assistants. I would like to document all that occurs in the operating room. After a procedure I will monitor patients for signs of complications and provide educations to patients and their families about the recovery process.
