COVER LETTER: Dear Human Resources Executive : This resume and cover letter is submitted for your consideration for a position of Medical Assistant. Please accept the enclosed resume of my professional experience for this position. While my healthcare experience is extensive, please understand that my employment objectives have changed in a significant way. In 2003, I left the workplace to raise and provide extensive care for my young grand-daughter. This personal situation has now resolved and she has become a maturing and self-sufficient adult. Now, I am anxious to secure a full-time healthcare position with less managerial responsibility. Please favorably consider my work experience and knowledge. In the context of your position offerings, please also understand that my compensation expectation is in line with your budget limitations and that my goal is simply to return to my "first love": the health and well-being of others. I am available for a full time position starting with your organizational needs. Looking forward to discussing your position opportunity further and thanking you for your kind consideration, I remain Very truly yours, Juanita Bernhardt Enclosure: OBJECTIVE: A medical assistant or other administrative healthcare position which recognizes my professional experience, knowledge and skills PROFESSIONAL COMPENTENCIES Client Consulting Fifty (50) extended care facilities in twelve (12) states for nursing management, operational procedures, HIPAA compliance and Medicare/Medicaid billing practices Conduct of nursing seminars for regulatory compliance, reorganization of nursing operations and facility turn-around operations Collaboration in the establishment of an Alzheimer's unit, new facility operation, analysis of the Minimum Data System process ( Medicare and Medicaid ) and wound care Development of policies & procedures for the positions of Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of Nursing and Minimum Data System Coordinator Nursing consultant for standards of care and state compliance in twelve states Nursing Management Positions Director of Nursing under contract to a 198 bed facility in Richmond, VA, as a turn-around operation RN Supervisor under contract to several hospitals for nursing services and management oversight Charge Nurse, Cardiac Care Unit, Pinehurst Medical Center, Pinehurst, NC
