To Whom It May Concern,
Tam pleased to recommend Ms. Trysha Hicks to you for employment in your facility. I
was Ms. Hicks’s clinical instructor for the course titled “Acute and Chronic Illness
Management II” in the baccalaureate-nursing program at the University of Arizona,
College of Nursing. Ms. Hicks provided care for patients in the Trauma &
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Units. In addition, Trysha cared for patients in the Bone
Marrow Transplant Unit at Banner University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. I have
known Trysha since August 2017 and have found her to be an outstanding student.
Ms. Hicks’s academic and clinical performance was outstanding. She eagerly accepts
challenging situations, works diligently, and is self-directed. Trysha has shown the kind
of initiative, which is necessary to be successful over the long-term in the nursing field.
Trysha’s strengths include leadership, dedication, organization, ability to take direction,
possesses computer-based skills as well as performance under pressure. In addition, she
quickly acquires new skills and is a strong team player. Trysha’s accomplishments
include being a member of National Student Nurses Association and the student president
of the Student Nurses of University of Arizona (SNUA) for the past year. In addition, she
has been on the Dean’s list with a 4.0 GPA for all semesters to date.
I earnestly support Ms. Trysha Hicks’s application for employment, as I believe she will
, make significant contributions to your facility. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you
have questions regarding her qualifications.
