I had the pleasure of working with the above student during the 2016 fall semester at The University of Arizona College of Nursing. I
taught Javier in his 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.
Additional Comments:
What are the applicants major strengths? Communication, maturity, positive attitude, and patient advocacy. Javier
excelled during the nursing program, he is very passionate and caring. He will make an excellent nurse. Javier was
always on time for the clinical setting and prepared for the day. Javier was very eager to learn and continually sought out
ways to enhance his learning experience in the clinical setting.
What areas need further improvement? None at this time, just needs adequate support as he starts his career as a
graduate RN. .
