Morgan
(First)

My contact with this student:

I had the pleasure of working with the above student during the spring 2015 and fall 2015 semesters at The University of Arizona
College of Nursing. I taught Morgan in the 1st semester clinical rotation for Fundamentals of Nursing: Nursing 356, which focused
on beginning applications for the nurse in the clinical setting. I also had Morgan 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.
