Recommendation Letter

Student: Callahan, Meghan

My contact with this student:

I had the pleasure of working with the above student during the spring semester of 2016 at The University of Arizona College of Nursing. I taught Meghan in
the clinical rotation 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.
