Recommendation Letter

Student: Conrad Kelly

(Last) (First)

My contact with this student:

I had the pleasure of working with the above student during the 2016 fall semester at The University of Arizona College of Nursing. I
taught Kelly in her 2nd semester course entitled Nursing Care of the Childbearing Family: Nursing 368. This course included
theoretical concepts, principles, and techniques for providing care to the childbearing family. Clinical practice focused on the
application of theory and the provision of nursing care to women (gynecological, antepartal, intrapartal, and postpartal), newborns,
and their families.

In addition, I observed this student actively participating in clinical development sessions including simulation and lab
settings.

Additional Comments:
What are the applicants major strengths? Communication, maturity, positive attitude, and patient advocacy. Kelly was
always on time for the clinical setting and prepared for the day. Kelly is very caring toward the patients she takes care of.
The candidate/student was always well prepared, on time and turned assignments in. Kelly was very eager to learn and
continually sought out ways to enhance her learning experience in the clinical setting.

What areas need further improvement? None at this time, just needs adequate support as she starts her career as a
graduate RN. .

Kelly will be an excellent asset to your organization.
