To whom it may concern:
I am pleased to provide a letter of recommendation for Reina Fujiwara, who is currently a nursing student within
the Associate in Science Degree in Nursing (ADN) Program at Kapiolani Community College with an anticipated
graduation in May 2016.
As the counselor for the KCC Nursing Department, I've had the privilege of assisting Ms. Fujiwara for the past four
years, when she began to enroll in pre-nursing courses in Summer 2012 and was subsequently accepted into the
KCC ADN Program in Fall 2014. As the nursing department counselor and having worked with many students,
I've greatly admired Ms. Fujiwaras thoughtful perseverance as she worked diligently to complete the nursing
program's admissions requirements. As a pre-nursing student, while completing the prerequisite and co-

requisite courses for the KCC nursing program, Ms. Fujiwara maintained a stellar 4.0 grade point average
(based on a 4.0 grade point system).
Ms. Fujiwara is currently in the final semester within the KCC ADN Program, ultimately enrolled in NURS 360
Health and Illness III (9 credits) and NURS 362 Professionalism in Nursing II (1 credit). Throughout the past
three semesters, while enrolled in the KCC ADN Program, Ms. Fujiwara has maintained an admirable

3.55 grade point average (based on a 4.0 grade point system). She has also received positive feedback
and remarks as part of the final evaluations for the clinical practicum segments within her nursing
courses.
Ms. Fujiwara has shared that after graduating from the KCC ADN Program, and while also preparing for the
NCLEX-RN licensure exam, she plans to continue her pursuit of a baccalaureate degree in nursing at the University
of Hawaii at Mnoa starting in the Fall 2016 semester
If you have any additional questions regarding Ms. Fujiwara, please feel free to contact me at 808.734.9274 or

Sincerely,
