THANK YOU LETTER

Dr. Jane Jones, Director of Nursing
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
Philadelphia, PA 19101  

Dear Dr. Jones:  

I sincerely enjoyed meeting with you yesterday and learning more about the Clinical Nurse Specialist position at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Our conversation confirmed my interest in becoming part of your staff.   It was particularly exciting to discover the level of support which is demonstrated by the hospital administration towards the nursing staff. As I mentioned, the interdisciplinary health team at your institution has a wonderful reputation and I would welcome the opportunity to become a part of that group. I believe my experiences as a Clinical Nurse Specialist intern and my years as a primary nurse would enable me to meet the challenges of the job effectively.   Please extend my thanks to Ms. Smith and to Mr. Johnson for their efforts in making my visit so pleasant. I have enclosed three written recommendations for your review. Thank you again; I look forward to hearing from you.  

Sincerely yours,    

Susan Backhaus

Senior Research Associate

Dear Mr. Katz:  

I would like to thank you for interviewing me for the Nurse Practitioner position. Unfortunately, I must withdraw my name from the list of applicants. Although it seems like a terrific opportunity, I have decided to remain in Philadelphia and not to relocate to Boston. I hope that you will keep me in mind if you know of anyone in the Philadelphia area who is looking to hire a Nurse Practitioner.   Thank you for your consideration.  

Sincerely yours,    

Kelly Bates

Dear Mr. Katz:  
I am extremely excited to be joining Beth Israel Hospital as a Staff Nurse. Based on our conversation at the interview I feel confident that this will be a challenging and stimulating environment in which to continue my career.   As per our discussion, I understand that the salary for this job is $39,000.
