Recommendation
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Amanda Baker CRNP and I am writing to you to recommend Nicole Wilkinson for the current position that she has applied for. She had worked with me previously at Penn Highlands Lifes Journey OB/GYN for eight years. We had worked together through various transitions with this clinic.
Over the eight years I have known and worked with Nicole she has always demonstrated a comprehensive knowlege base in her job position and works well under pressure. I have trusted Nicole with all of my patients and personally prefer my patients to be in her hands when they need diangostic testing. Nicole has extensive experience with her ability to problem solve and guide patients during intimate and challenging times with their health. Her compassion towards these patients I respect greatly.
As a clinician I often proclaim that the outpatient clinic is only as good as our team members and Nicole provides me that confidence when I need an obstetric or gynecology ultrasound.
Nicole is a professional in every aspect in her role. The confidential manner at which our profession demands, she has always been able to fulfill. I am confident that Nicole will be an invaluable asset at our facility and provide a meaningful contribution to our team.
Should you have any further questions about her, feel free to reach me at 814 360 9289 or arc81@georgetown.edu
Kindly,
Amanda Baker CRNP, IBCLC
