Rowan Ellis
Senior Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) | Geriatric & Sub-Acute Care
Broadview Sub-Acute Centre
Dear Hiring Committee,
I am writing to express my interest in the Licensed Practical Nurse position at Broadview Sub-Acute Centre. With extensive clinical experience spanning sub-acute rehabilitation, complex continuing care, and outpatient services across Toronto, I have developed a patient-centred practice rooted in clinical rigor, careful assessment, and steady interdisciplinary collaboration. I welcome the opportunity to bring this restorative care background to your dedicated nursing team.
At High Park Transitional Health Centre, I have served as Charge Practical Nurse / Senior LPN, directing primary bedside care and clinical documentation for a 24-bed sub-acute rehabilitation and complex continuing care unit. In this role, I administer oral, subcutaneous, and intramuscular medications in strict accordance with College of Nurses of Ontario standards and monitor therapeutic responses closely. Additionally, I perform advanced wound management, including negative pressure wound therapy and sterile dressing changes, which contributed to a 20% reduction in average healing times for chronic pressure injuries.
My restorative background is further grounded in years of delivering comprehensive care to geriatric residents with cognitive impairment and chronic co-morbidities at Don Mills Restorative Care Centre. There, I regularly coordinated interdisciplinary care conferences with attending physicians, physiotherapists, and registered dietitians to ensure care plans remained responsive to resident progress. Furthermore, my collaboration on a quality initiative to standardize digital wound assessment protocols helped raise unit documentation compliance across shifts by 28%, demonstrating my commitment to organized, transparent charting and patient safety.
Broadview Sub-Acute Centre's dedication to restorative rehabilitation closely aligns with my clinical competencies and day-to-day focus on attentive bedside care. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my clinical background can support your residents and nursing team.
Sincerely,
Rowan Ellis
