Recommendation

Antoinette Wyman, RNC, MSN, Mott Community College – Faculty, 810-762-6842, I had the pleasure of working with Sarah Baldwin as her instructor. She is innately a very caring and conscientious student, making a career in nursing a suitable fit. Sarah demonstrated qualifications that I believe to be imperative in a prospective nurse: time management skills, critical thinking and strong interpersonal skills. She was consistent in using these skills to build on her clinical learning experiences and in helping fellow students maximize their experiences. The hospital staff members who worked with Sarah always gave positive feedback regarding her performance, as did the patients. She was always on time, well prepared for class, submitted neat comprehensive assignments, and adhered to ethical standards set forth by the nursing discipline. I recommend Sarah Baldwin for any position you are offering. Thank you for your kind consideration of this recommendation.
