Summary
I am writing to express my strong interest in the University of Virginia Medical Center New Graduate Nurse Residency Program. I am currently completing my Associate Degree in Nursing at Piedmont Virginia Community College and am eager to continue my professional nursing journey at UVA Health, an organization where I have already gained valuable experience and developed a deep appreciation for patient-centered, evidence-based care. I am motivated, compassionate, and eager to continue learning as I transition into the registered nurse role. The structured education, mentorship, and support offered through the UVA Nurse Residency Program strongly align with my goals of developing clinical confidence while providing exceptional care to diverse patient populations.
