November 21, 2015 To Whom It May Concern, My name is Samira El Bedawi, a Registered Nurse on a medical-surgical unit at St. Joseph's hospital in Tucson, Arizona. As Katelyn’s preceptor for five weeks during her senior preceptorship, I highly recommend Katelyn Tamaray for the positon as a Registered Nurse. During this time, she worked in many environments and demonstrated superior patient- centered care, excellent communications skills, and organizational skills required of an outstanding RN. Katelyn is able to work independently and confidently. At the end of five weeks, Katelyn needed ‘minimal assistance; she provided the care for all six patients independently, managing her time and prioritizing her patient's needs effectively. Katelyn's ability to utilize critical thinking and nursing knowledge in order to deliver individual, holistic, patient-centered care will be the strengths she brings. Each nursing skill she performed, such as medication administration, ambulation, and wound care were always done safely and through evidence-based practice. She communicates proficiently, when giving and receiving report from other nurses. Her assessments and documentation were always done thoroughly. Lastly, Katelyn was able to demonstrate quick responses to emergency situations by knowing her resources and whom to call for help. In my professional working relationship with Katelyn, I recognized her heart-felt compassion towards patients, their families and the genuine desire to help others, She is an outstanding patient advocate and was able to build a rapport with all her patients as well as their families and her colleagues. Katelyn’s willingness to help me, other nurses and staff members on the floor, is evidence of her value as a team member. Katelyn brings a positive attitude to the unit with an eagerness to learn something new. During, her preceptorship, we were floated onto different units and Katelyn was able to adapt to new environments and situations. I believe Katelyn's greatest strength is her flexibility with a readiness to meet new challenges with professionalism. She continually seeks evaluations, can ‘maturely process feedback and thrives on improvement to the benefit of her patients. Katelyn is dedicated, committed, and a hard worker. I believe she will be an excellent nurse. Sincerely, bacvce Oas/ee = ‘Samira el Bedawi (RN) St. Joseph’s Hospital, Tueson Arizona
