To Whom it May Concern,
I am pleased to recommend Victoria Sarinana for the position of new graduate nurse. I
had the pleasure of working with Victoria during the spring 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.
Victoria is a strong student who is a motivated, independent learner. She seeks clinical
experiences which challenge her to grow in the delivery of integrated nursing care. She
demonstrates strong critical thinking skills and problem solving abilities with complex, high
acuity patient populations. She also exhibited insight into patient and family care needs as a
developing patient advocate. Victoria is a fast learner and demonstrated a strong nursing skill
set in high acuity populations. She asks appropriate questions, seeks additional information as
needed, and uses her critical thinking skills to make sound patient care decisions. She continues
to build confidence with her role and voice on the interdisciplinary team.
Overall, Victoria is an excellent candidate for any entry level nursing position in a high
acuity, complex care environment. If you have any questions about Victoria’s qualifications
please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Kelly Clark RN, MSN, OCN
Clinical Instructor
University of Arizona, College of Nursing
