To Whom it May Concern,
I am pleased to recommend Stephanie Martinez for the position of new graduate nurse. I
had the pleasure of working with Stephanie during the fall semester of 2019 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.
Stephanie is a hard-working student who is a self-directed, independent learner and seeks
clinical experiences which challenge her to grow in the delivery of integrated nursing care. She is
developing appropriate critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities with high acuity
patient populations. She also demonstrates insight into patient and family care needs and uses
effective communication skills as a developing patient advocate. She has performed well and has
proven herself to be a team player and supportive of others. If you have any questions about
Stephanie’s qualifications, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Kelly Clark RN
