Comments: I taught Jenna Smith NSG 300 Fundamentals of Nursing in the 1st semester and NSG 432 Nursing Care of the
Childbearing Family in the 3rd semester of the 4-semester nursing program. Jenna spent time developing her nursing, technical,
critical thinking, and communication skills. She always conducts himself in a professional manner in her approach to clients
and their families. She expressed a very strong desire to care for obstetrical clients upon graduation. I can highly recommend
Jenna Smith for a residency in your organization.
