To Whom It May Concern
It is with great pleasure I am writing a letter of recommendation for Ms. Megan Custis. I,
Carla McPherson, MS, RN-BC; Clinical Assistant Professor, have known Megan as a
nursing student since fall 2015 when she enrolled in my course N366: Acute and
Chronic Illness Management I. Ms. Custis was in my clinical group for that nursing
course at Northwest Medical Center Tucson, Arizona.
Throughout that semester, she had been a learner with very clear goals and the ability
to meet those goals. She demonstrated excellent communication skills with clients,
staff, peers, and faculty in all clinical settings. With minimal guidance, she remained
organized and demonstrated time management skills appropriate for this level of
student. Megan was consistently prepared for clinical and was receptive to new and
challenging learning situations with a variety of adult-aged patients. She demonstrated
problem-solving skills and was willing, professional, and enthusiastic to take on
challenges.
Megan has a very good academic record (estimated GPA 3.5) and has demonstrated
appropriate clinical decision making skills applying theory to practice.
I recommend this student, Megan Custis for a position within your organization.
Please contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,

Carla McPherson, MS, RN-BC
