To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter to recommend Sarai Valle for a Clinical Preceptorship.

My name is Lindsey Slotnick, and I am an Assistant Clinical Faculty for level 1 and 3 for the BSN-IH program in
Gilbert Arizona. I worked in the high acuity medical MICU, SICU, TICU at St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center for
my bedside career and have spent 2 years as an educator. We have many students come through our program at
the University of Arizona, but Sarai is unique. She possesses crucial characteristics of a great nurse such as being
accountable, dedicated and proactive when it comes to patient care and leadership.

Sarai has been a very strong performer academically at the University of Arizona. She is a student who
understands instructions and is self-reliant in completing her work correctly and on time. She asks questions that
shows that processing and understanding what she is learning. While observing her in her clinical rotations, I saw
Sarai take advantage of her clinical time on numerous occasions to practice her nursing skills. She has had clinical
experience in many different hospital systems and has learned the value of following protocol as well as evidence-
based practice in her patient care. She has also learned the value of professionalism. She exceled and truly
learned the value of team work and responsibility during her time in that rotation. She has spoken up for her
patients and advocated for their care. She has great care and compassion for her patients.

I believe Sarai also demonstrates the qualities of compassion and respect that I believe will make her a great nurse.
In all interactions with staff, students and patients, shows respect. She shows that she genuinely cares for those
around her even during stressful situations. These qualities along with her strong work ethic and self-reliance will
allow her to be a great nurse.

After sharing the many ways that I believe Sarai is unique, I feel that should be considered at the top of your list for
preceptorship. If you have any further questions about, please feel free to reach out by phone or email. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Lindsey Slotnick
