Entry Level CNA Cover Letter No Experience: 4 Samples

Ms. Karen Whitfield
Director of Nursing
Willowmere Care Center, Louisville, KY

Dear Ms. Whitfield,

Caring for older adults is the work I am most passionate about, and I am excited to apply for the Certified Nursing Assistant position at Willowmere Care Center. I recently completed a state-approved CNA program with 120 hours of supervised clinical training in a long-term care facility, and I am ready to support your residents and care team from my first shift.

During my clinical hours I cared for up to 6 residents per shift, helping with bathing, dressing, meals and mobility. I measured and recorded more than 150 sets of vital signs with no errors found by the supervising nurse, assisted with more than 80 safe transfers and repositioning tasks, and reported changes in condition to the nurse right away.

I chose long-term care because I enjoy getting to know residents and their families. I completed hand hygiene before and after about 200 resident contacts, helped 12 residents with meals during 20 supervised mealtimes, and earned a top clinical evaluation from my instructor.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you for an interview and learn more about your team. I am available any weekday and can be reached at lauren.mitchell@email.com or (555) 010-0123. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Lauren Mitchell

Mr. Daniel Reed
Nurse Manager
Briarwood Regional Medical Center, Tampa, FL

Dear Mr. Reed,

There is nothing I am more passionate about than helping people feel safe and cared for when they need it most, and I am excited to apply for the Certified Nursing Assistant position on your medical-surgical unit at Briarwood Regional Medical Center. After five years in customer service, I trained as a nursing assistant to do work that makes a difference every day.

In customer service I helped about 60 customers a day, processed about 200 transactions per shift with accurate cash handling and trained 5 new team members. Those years taught me patience, clear communication and calm under pressure.

My state-approved CNA program added 120 hours of supervised clinical training. I measured vital signs for up to 8 patients per shift, assisted with more than 60 safe transfers and repositioning tasks, and reported changes in condition to the supervising nurse on every shift.

I work well with nurses, ask questions early and help wherever the team needs me. I would appreciate the chance to meet with you for an interview and show how I can support your unit. I can be reached at kevin.brooks@email.com or (555) 010-0145, and I am available for day, evening and weekend shifts. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,
Kevin Brooks

Dear Ms. Foster,

Helping people live with dignity and comfort at home is the work I am most passionate about, and I am excited to apply for the Certified Nursing Assistant position at Ashgrove Home Health. For two years I cared for my grandmother at home, and I volunteered about 100 hours at a senior center before completing a state-approved CNA program.

At home I managed meals, mobility and daily routines every day, kept a written log of her blood pressure and medicines, and noticed and reported 6 changes in her condition to her doctor. At the senior center I helped about 25 older adults each week with activities and meals.

My CNA program included 120 hours of supervised clinical training, and I have passed my state competency exam. I completed vital sign checks for up to 6 residents per shift and assisted with more than 70 safe transfers.

I am calm, patient and organized, and I enjoy one-on-one care. I have reliable transportation and can cover about 20 visits a week. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you for an interview. I can be reached at rachel.evans@email.com or (555) 010-0158. Thank you for your time and consideration.
