To whom it may concern:

It is my pleasure to write in enthusiastic support of Taryn Ketels in her credentialing
project in the Emergency Department at UCHealth.
Taryn and I have worked together in the UCHealth ED for three years where we have
grown close personally and professionally. We have worked on many projects and been a part of
multiple committees with one another. Through this, I have gotten to know Taryn very well over
the past three years. I thus feel well-qualified to comment on her qualifications and performance
in the Emergency Department.
Taryn is a role model in the department and an asset to the hospital at large. She is
passionate about providing patient centered, evidence-based care. Taryn is adaptable to the ever-
changing ED environment and will continually make improvements to improve her patients’
lives. Taryn is receptive to feedback and makes changes accordingly. Taryn is dedicated to
teaching; whether that be a fellow nurse, an ED tech, or an undergraduate student in the
department, she is always willing to help and ensure everyone is on the same page.
Taryn is always willing to provide help as needed and can predict issues before they
occur. She is not afraid to ask for help but is an independent worker. Taryn is an influencer in
that she effortlessly integrates new research protocols into her daily workflow and helps remind
and inspire others to ensure that research needs are satisfied. Taryn’s strengths are reflected in
the core tenants of nursing: she is humble, nonjudgmental, and ethical.
For the reasons delineated above and many more, I highly recommend Taryn for her
credentialing project. She is incredibly passionate about HIV and educating our department on
the process and giving knowledge so we may know the “why” behind why we do things.
Should you have any questions, I invite you to contact me at the phone or email address
listed above.

Sincerely,
