Resume and Cover Letter
Like other professionals, nurses usually study to acquire skills to work in different health care settings to earn a living. As they study or after completing their respective programs, nurses apply for different jobs. Resumes and cover letters are standard documents for job application purposes. A resume presents a person’s background, skills, and accomplishments (DeNisco, 2019; Lam, 2018). It summarizes relevant job experience and education. On the other hand, a cover letter outlines an applicant’s credentials and interest in a vacant position or an opportunity of interest (Masters, 2020).
