To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to write this letter on behalf of Chelsea Hill, to whom I give high recommendation for employment at INOVA Alexandria’s new graduate residency program in the Emergency Department. I was Chelsea’s medical surgical clinical instructor at The George Washington University Hospital and have witnessed her grow as a nursing student over the 10 weeks that she participated in clinicals. During clinicals, I found Chelsea to be punctual, reliable and conscientious. She was eager to learn, not afraid to seek clarification and asked pertinent questions. I was aware of her scribing background and was impressed with her knowledge and understanding of medical terminology, organization of clinical data and direct
patient communication. She demonstrated confidence with medication calculation and administration, promptly assisted patients when asked by nursing staff, and regularly practiced good work habits by following the correct protocol and instructions when appropriate. She displayed professionalism and always had a cheerful attitude. Her excellent interpersonal skills and kind demeanor were reflected in the appreciation from patients and staff alike. Moreover, Chelsea demonstrates these important qualities in her personal life. She is multidimensional with a desire for both personal and professional success and understanding. Outside of the healthcare arena, she has participated in many community events including serving as a mentor to children and has worked with underserved populations as a chef’s aide in a soup kitchen. She acts with maturity and humility and possesses profound cultural awareness and sensitivities that will translate into exceptional patient care. Chelsea has shown remarkable aptitude as a nursing student and will excel in any role she chooses to pursue in nursing. She is very observant and strives to exceed expectations. The experiences she gained here, along with her intellectual curiosity, strong work ethic and ability to work under pressure will enable her to be successful in your program and in the nursing profession. I believe Chelsea has what it takes to be an exceptional nurse, and I am pleased to recommend her without hesitation to your program. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
For this assignment I was able to interview Regina Bowman RN, BSN. Her current position is that of the Director of Medical Surgical Nursing. Her position places her over top of seven nursing units between two facilities. Regina graduated from the Mercer Medical School of Nursing in 1979 with her diploma in nursing. The Mercer medical school of nursing is still in operation although it has been renamed the Capital Health School of Nursing. Her return to school started after graduation. She enrolled at Mercer County Community College to obtain her Associates. Secondly she attended La Salle University and received her Bachelor’s in Nursing in 2003. Lastly she is currently enrolled at the Thomas Edison State University, and has a prospective graduation of 2011 with her Masters Degree in Nursing. Regina has work in many clinical jobs, both in and out the hospital. Initially she began her nursing carrier as a medical surgical nurse shortly after graduation. After she gained experience she worked in the emergency room only to return to med-surge as an assistant manager. Subsequently the unit in which she worked closed and Regina was placed in an outpatient setting managing hospital owned physician groups. This position leads to her return as the manager of 7 East a general medical unit. This position eventually gave her the opportunity to hold her current position as a hospital director.
Question Quote "I doubt that these experiences are unique to the hospitals or the medical school at which I have thus far trained. I expect that they pervade health care systems throughout the country. I give credit to my medical school for teaching me to be critical of the culture of medicine, apply interdisciplinary perspectives to clinical quandaries, and reflect on my experiences." (Brooks KC. 2015.)

Examples of patients with complex acute care needs are those with multiple comorbidities who need mechanical ventilator weaning, administration of intravenous antibiotics, and those with complex wound care (Munoz-Price, 2009, p. 438). According to Landon Horton, CNO of Select Specialty Hospital in Fort Smith, Arkansas, “The services provided by LTACH facilities allow the patients to get home who would not otherwise, have a higher level of functioning at discharge, and increase their quality of life” (personal communication, March 7, 2014). The role of the Chief Nursing Officer is a complex position. Educational preparation for the CNO role ranges from a Master’s in Nursing to a degree outside of the profession such as an MBA or a degree in a related area of study (Kerfoot, 2012, p. 38-39). In L. Horton’s role as the CNO for Select Specialty Hospital, the duties required by him are multifaceted.
I am writing this letter to express my interest in the nurse position posted at Christus hospital website for new nursing graduates. As you can see from my resume, I will graduate in May 2019 from the University Of New Mexico College Of Nursing.

Angelia, is a warm and caring person who remains a professional. She has excellent written and verbal skills and is able to work independently to complete assigned projects. I believe she will be a wonderful contribution to the world of medical writing.
I am writing this recommendation letter for the admission of Lucy Moussignac in Ross University. I first met Ms. Moussignac as a volunteer at NY Methodist hospital and was immediately impressed by her interest and enthusiasm for patient care and medicine.
In this mentorship I continue getting new experiences in each day. Providence Mount St. Vincent, TCU is an open door for new learning opportunity. I used to work for Providence Mount St Vincent as a nursing assistant about three years ago, back then TCU wasn’t there. PMSV’s MISSION: As people of Providence, we reveal God’s love for all, especially the poor and vulnerable, through our compassionate service; CORE VALUES: Respect, compassion, justice, excellence and stewardship; VISION: Together, as people of Providence, we answer the call of every person we serve: know me; care for me; ease my way. This principle motivated and structured me to be a better caring, passionate, treat resident as individual and respect residents wishes. In this mentorship I got lucky because I am able to find a nurse that willing to mentor me in TCU. According to the nursing educator he told me that “you are the first nursing student allowed on the TCU”. That made me very proud and prepared to do my best.
On October 12th 2016, I had the wonderful opportunity to tour Richmond General Hospital as part of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Langara College. My clinical educator and group of eight peers were introduced to the many different disciplines associated with health care. The goal of this experience was to orientate nursing students to their future line of work. During this tour, we were introduced to various diagnostic-imaging techniques like X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, we got to explore the hospital pharmacy and learned how it operates. The group ended the tour by meeting with a staff member of the Richmond Hospital Foundation, who educated us on the value of generosity and fundraising in order to purchase essential medical equipment, improve patient care programs, and enhance the facility as a whole. This experience was educational and inspiring for me because it allowed me to critically think, as well as appreciate the teamwork that goes on in a hospital setting.

For the outcome, Clinical Competence I have learned the importance of the nursing process in my current class, Skills and Concepts. This information is relatively new to me, so I know I have plenty of room to grow in this area. I have learned how to utilize the resources that I am provided. One resource in particular is my pocket guide. This has been a useful tool in helping learn and write a nursing diagnosis based upon a given situation. As I progress through the rest of this class; I hope by the end to be more competent in ways of providing the best possible care while utilizing the nursing process.
To whomsoever it may concern, I am very pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Dr. Meghana Srinivas who is applying to Pediatric residency training program at your prestigious institution. I have known her for about three years during which I taught her various topics in Pediatrics prescribed for undergraduate students. I was her attending while she did her sub-internship at the NICU and outpatient department. Starting with her academic accomplishments, during the class she was very attentive, engaged herself in discussions. She would not hesitate to raise meaningful questions and would come up with thoughtful answers and thus contributed to a fruitful learning experience of the entire class.
Luckily, I am very comfortable with patients, which made providing care very easy. I was not afraid to go into other patient’s rooms if they rang for help. I would try my best to help the patients; however, if I needed help I was not afraid to ask a fellow student or nurse on the staff. It is very important to be able to talk to patients and work as a team with fellow coworkers as it made the job easier. On the other hand, I need to go over mother and baby assessments to become more familiar with both. I was able to complete the assessments; I now need to do so in a timelier manner while ensuring I do not forget any key areas. Lastly, it is vital that I continue to go over patient teaching prior to clinical. Being comfortable with the patients made the teaching easier, though I need to become more familiar with all the material that needs to be taught.
The Digital Clinical experience was a positive experience for me due to the fact that it is somewhat like the simulation labs that we had during our Nursing program. I liked that it was a one-on-one experience as if we were actually there with the patient. I am a visual hands-on learner and simulation labs help me understand how to put things together better. However, I did find that I would ask specific questions, as I do in my every day nursing career, which Tina was unable to answer or understand. Tina would give random answers that didn’t pertain to what I was asking and there were no suggested questions to rephrase the question appropriately. Sometimes I would have to skip the question all together.
