Student: Williams Cadence

(Last) (First)

My contact with this student:

I had the pleasure of working with the above student during the fall semester 2015 at The University of Arizona College of Nursing in
the course entitled Nursing Care of the Childbearing Family: Nursing 368. This course includes theoretical concepts, principles, and
techniques for providing care to the childbearing family. Clinical practice focuses on the application of theory and the provision of
nursing care to women (gynecological, antepartal, intrapartal, and postpartal), newborns, and their families.

In addition, I observed this student actively participating in clinical development sessions including simulation and lab
settings.
