To Whom It May Concern
It is with great pleasure I am writing a letter of recommendation for Ms. Macy Dailey.
I, Carla McPherson, MS, RN-BC; Clinical Assistant Professor, have known Macy
as a nursing student since spring 2015 when she enrolled in my course N366: Acute
and Chronic Illness Management I. Ms. Macy was in my clinical group for that nursing
course at Northwest Medical Center Tucson, Arizona.
Throughout this semester, she had been a learner with very clear goals and the ability
to meet those goals. She demonstrated excellent communication skills with clients,
staff, peers, and faculty in all clinical settings. With minimal guidance, she remained
organized and demonstrated time management skills appropriate for this level of
student. Macy was consistently prepared for clinical and was receptive to new and
challenging learning situations with a variety of adult-aged patients. She demonstrated
problem-solving skills and was willing, professional, and very enthusiastic to take on
challenges.
Macy has a very good academic record and has demonstrated appropriate clinical
decision making skills applying theory to practice. She has achieved her Certified
Nursing Assistant certification and continues to practice as a patient care technician in a
variety of settings. She is involved in a volunteer organization with our community south
of the Mexican American border.
I highly recommend this very personable and delightful student, Macy Dailey for a
position within your organization. She will truly be an asset to your institution and to the
profession as well.
Please contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,

Carla McPherson, MS, RN-BC
