Is it important to tailor my nursing cover letter to each specific job I am applying for as a new grad?

Good day.
Yes, customizing both your cover letter and adding pertinent words from the position description, only if applicable, to your resume which highlight your experience and credentials qualifying for the position you are applying for, is essential. Paying attention to details is very important in the world of nursing. Having that attention prevents patient safety errors in nursing care and makes your job so much more comprehensive as the details add up the broad understanding of the position and nursing assessment skills. Your response to interview questions will also be more on target, if you carefully read the position description. Best of luck!

Yes it is, I was just turned down for a position I was qualified for but I didn’t change my cover letter.
