To whom it may concern:

This correspondence is in regards to Bella Rahal a University of Arizona Bachelor of Science

nursing student graduating spring 2020. I am honored to write this letter of recommendation for
Bella, a stellar candidate for a new graduate nurse position. I had the pleasure to work with Bella
during the fall semester as she was a clinical and didactic student in NURS 366 “Acute and
Chronic Illness Management”. I was impressed with Bella’s clinical abilities as well as her
motivation to succeed at the next level.

Ms. Rahal demonstrated professionalism, competency, accountability, and leadership during the
pediatric course and clinical rotation at Tucson Medical Center. Bella was highly motivated and
demonstrated a distinguished level of scholarship, integrity, leadership, and service to others.
Bella arrived early to class and clinical every day as well as submitted assignments before they
were due. Bella demonstrated strong interpersonal communication skills. She was not afraid to
ask questions or was not intimidated to offer suggestions to faculty or healthcare professionals.
A strength of Ms. Rahal is her ability to develop a caring trustworthy relationship with children.
Bella connected immediately with a non-verbal 19-year-old diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Bella
utilized therapeutic touch when interacting with this child. Bella had the ability to brighten this
child’s day when no other staff could calm him. Bella always was positive with a smile which
was contagious to her patients and families. Bella is driven and eager to learn. Bella strives to be
the best she can be. Bella is accepting of constructive feedback. Bella is a team player. She
makes herself available to help others when own work is complete.

Ms. Rahal’s passion to succeed in the highly competitive rigorous nursing program at the
University of Arizona is to be commended. Bella has a no quit attitude. The University of
Arizona, College of Nursing has prepared Bella with a strong work ethic to succeed in a fast-
paced environment and learn at the next level. Bella indicates a strong passion to serve our
community and is ready for the challenge to become a registered nurse. Without hesitation, I
highly recommend Bella Rahal for the new graduate registered nurse position. Please feel free to
contact me for additional information if needed.

Sincerely Yours,

Beverly Bias, MS, RNC-NIC, NTMNC
