To Whom it May Concern,

I am pleased to recommend Cassidy Leroux for the position of new graduate nurse. I had
the pleasure of working with Cassidy during the fall semester of 2018 as a Clinical Instructor at
The University of Arizona College of Nursing in the course entitled “Acute and Chronic Illness
Management II.” This course integrates the principles of advanced medical and surgical nursing
theory, pathophysiology, and pharmacology into high acuity nursing practice. I supervised this
student in a high acuity medical/surgical clinical practice setting including intermediate care and
intensive care units. In addition, I observed this student actively participating in clinical
development sessions including simulation and lab settings.
Throughout the semester, Cassidy displayed leadership skills, confidence, and sound
clinical judgement. She was caring towards patient, had an outgoing personality, and was always
willing to learn new skills. Cassidy is the type of new grad nurse that any manager would be
fortunate to have on their unit because she displays high level critical thinking skills and she is not
afraid to ask questions. During our time together, I enjoyed getting to know Cassidy and I am
confident she is going to be an outstanding nurse.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,
Nichole Pelan RN, MSN-Ed
