Sharon Hitchcock Letter of Recommendation
It is with great pleasure and confidence that I write this letter of recommendation for Amanda
Nguyen, University of Arizona student nurse. I am faculty in the 2nd semester obstetrics (NURS
368) course at the College of Nursing and was Amanda’s clinical instructor in the Spring of 2018.
I have been faculty at the College of Nursing for six years. Prior to teaching, I worked for
Carondelet Health Network as an RN for 28 years. I served four years as a clinical educator and one
year as manager of the antepartum/women’s surgical/maternal-newborn unit at St. Joseph’s
Hospital. Prior to women’s health, I worked 20 years as a cardiac telemetry nurse.
As Amanda’s instructor, I found her to be quick to learn and hardworking. She possesses excellent
critical thinking skills as well as a high degree of common sense. She was consistently prepared,
engaged in the classroom, and did very well academically in both the clinical and classroom
setting. She is detail oriented and conscientious. Amanda has a quiet confidence that I believe puts
both patients and nurses at ease. She is supportive of her student colleagues and is truly a “team
player.”
Amanda is a top BSN student at the College of Nursing, and shined bright in our obstetrics course
when she was with me. I highly recommend Amanda to you, as I truly believe she will be
successful at whatever type of nursing she pursues. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me at (520) 404-9748.
