Clara Barton,
Standing as I do, I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone, Germany or British. This is my motto and I will stand behind it until the day I die. Do you want a person to work for you who you can trust and have faith in? Well I believe that I can be that person and that�s why I am applying for a job as a nurse in the American Red Cross Society.
I believe that I would be qualified for the position as a nurse in your organization because I have a strong background of nursing and I have a great undying passion for it. When I first realized that I had a passion for it, I was nursing my father back to health when he fell ill. Ever since then I have been working in different hospitals around the area and also in private nursing homes but I never felt satisfied. I love helping people and I feel like I can be more of a help in a bigger environment such as the American Red Cross Society.
I was also the leader of a pioneer training school for nurses and it gave me a great experience with other nurses and also in the training field. Another amazing experience I had was during the war, serving in Belgium. I helped aid the wounded in Belgium for quite some time and during the war, I new that this was what I wanted to do with my life. I want to help people and I would very much appreciate it if you helped me live my dream.
I would love it and appreciate it if you or someone could contact me so we can set up an interview. I am really looking forward to meeting you and showing you who I am.
Sincerely yours,
Edith Cavell
