To Whom It May Concern:

Taylor Olson was my student during her 10 week psychiatric/mental health nursing clinical
rotation last semester. As a clinical instructor/lecturer with fifty years experience in various
psych nursing areas, I have a unique opportunity to become acquainted with my students as
individuals. Since they're learning to use their own personalities as a therapeutic tool, I try to
help them get to know themselves more in depth and as members of a team on our four unit
inpatient facility. During our psych rotation, they also experience working with older adults,
pediatric therapy services, and intensive adult outpatient services. My goal for them is to
practice interpersonal relationship skills that can be generalized and applied to any nursing
endeavor they choose.

Taylor Olson, remember that name! Why? Because Taylor is one of those nursing students
who stand out as being a really well-rounded, mature, caring individual. Don't get me wrong -
Taylor can hold her own with all of those STEM-leaning students. So, if you're looking for the
kind of nurse you would want taking care of you or your loved one, Taylor is your first choice!
First of all, review Taylor's diverse resume: a Dean's list honor student, a pharmacy tech, fitness
center worker, sorority affiliation, 4H Horse Club, and a music honor society. And, last must not
least, a world traveler. Taylor has the big picture - in healthcare and otherwise.

Now the usual (but true) description of the strengths and attributes that Taylor will bring to your
organization: 1) a broad and in depth nursing knowledge base; 2) highly developed
technical/technology abilities; 3) excellent verbal/written communication skills and finally; 4) an
appreciation of the value of the continued application of evidenced-based nursing practice.

Combine the above description of Taylor with the outstanding education and training of the
University of Arizona College of Nursing, and you get the reasons why you must interview
Taylor! In person, Taylor will exude all those human and humane qualities of a healthcare
professional - warmth, compassion, and empathy. An extra added bonus you will learn of
Taylor - she is a natural leader - very intuitive, assertive, fun to follow. She is a fine nurse, who
says to her team - "Come on, guys, we can do this". And they do! Get Taylor on board ASAP.
You'll never regret it.

Sincerely,

Susan Markovich, RN, MSN

Clinical Instructor
