Nurse Assistants are healthcare providers who have undergone two-year training in Health Assistant Clinical or Community Health Nursing programmes. They provide healthcare to patients or clients under the supervision of a Registered Nurse or Midwife.

There has been a growing demand for nurse assistants in many private health facilities in Ghana since the government started employing community nurses under the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP).

Dear Sir/Madam,

APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AS A NURSE ASSISTANT

I wish to submit my application for the nurse assistant job opening at Winneba Community Health Clinic, a position recently advertised on myjobs.com. I am confident that my training in Community Health, skills, and experience in primary health care, counselling, and community outreach will be of much importance to your community healthcare project.

I’m now volunteering in a village hospital in Accra as a health worker. For the past three years, my responsibilities have included raising hygiene awareness in the community, health counselling, direct patient treatment, and community health advising. In addition, I assist patients with feeding, grooming, and toileting. When working with patients, I have shown compassion, discretion, integrity, and professionalism.

For one year, I interned with Ga East Hospital as an assistant health worker. I engaged in health programs in poor urban areas. Additionally, I contributed to health awareness, vaccination, and clinical documentation. I hope to extend my experience and skills to promote the work of your project. I appreciate your consideration.

Yours Sincerely,

……………………..
