Planning for Professional Development Part 1:
Step 1 Create a cover letter for your portfolio.
Imagine that you are interviewing for a nurse manager position in your institution. Write a cover letter, containing at least two-paragraphs, explaining why you want to be a nurse manager and why you are the best candidate for the position.
Review how to prepare an effective cover letter There are many online resources to help you.
Step 2 State your nursing beliefs.
Some employers ask you to include a personal statement. To complete this section, create a separate document with the following three main headings:
- Why I Became a Nurse
- My Nursing Philosophy
- For assistance in writing your philosophy, see Nursing Philosophy Examples (Links to an external site.) and refer to previous course work, particularly NUR300 Professional Issues in Nursing.
- My Vision for the Next Five to Ten Years
