To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to recommend Lauren Hantos for a position as a registered nurse in your organization. I have known
Lauren since May 2016. When I first met her, she was an officer in a nursing student club for which I was faculty
advisor. Then since August 2017, Lauren has been a student of mine in a community nursing class I taught at the
College of Nursing. Based on my observations of Lauren as a student and a leader, I believe she will make an excellent
candidate for a position in your organization.

Lauren did an excellent job in her role as secretary and Homecoming co-chair for the Student Nurses at the University
of Arizona (SNUA). Lauren consistently demonstrated hard work, organizational skills, initiative, and a commitment to
service. She was also reliable and responsible, as she consistently met deadlines and completed assigned tasks. Lauren
was a team player and worked well with others.

As a student, Lauren is intelligent and creative, which she demonstrated by the quality of her work. Lauren is
enthusiastic, outgoing, articulate and a natural leader. Lauren demonstrated initiative by taking advantage of extra-
curricular and service opportunities outside regularly scheduled hours and days. For example, she interned with Teen
Outreach Pregnancy Services, a nurse-driven local non-profit. This optional clinical rotation involved additional
training, meetings, and flexibility. As a result, Lauren had more experiences than most of her peers in health education
and working with this at-risk population. Most importantly, Lauren consistently demonstrated a passion for maternal-
child nursing.

In conclusion, I recommend without reservation, Lauren Hantos for a position in your organization. If her performance
at the University of Arizona College of Nursing is any indication of how she will perform as a registered nurse, Lauren
will be an outstanding addition to your organization. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or if I may be
of further assistance. I am best reached at the cell phone number listed below.

Sincerely,

Patty Nolan Goldsmith MS, RN, PHNA-BC
