I have worked in this position for the past seven years, and I can honestly say that among all the many fine nurses I have had the opportunity to work with, Nurse ____ is undoubtedly among the absolute best. It is her intense focus on her work, never losing her concentration, and heightened sense of responsibility and dedication to consistently achieve extraordinarily successful professional outcomes. Her ability to communicate effectively with both patients and staff enhances our team's efficiency, and her compassionate approach ensures that every offender feels valued and cared for. Additionally, her extensive knowledge and quick decision-making skills contribute to the overall quality of care we provide.

____ is deeply knowledgeable about patient care procedures and a highly effective communicator and team player—very task-oriented. We have worked together for the past three years at ____ Correctional Facility. When I arrive at work, Nurse ____ has all the correct charts and files for me to review for those offenders who need attention.

I appreciate your consideration of ____ for a position in your DNP Program, and I would be happy to provide further details as her professional reference.


Sincerely,
