This is a letter of recommendation for Ramona McDowell. I observed her to be a very intelligent and knowledgeable nurse. She always seemed to go to extra trouble to find out exactly the patient’s condition and offer good suggestions as to how patient care could be improved from a nursing standpoint. I believe she will continue to provide exceptional nursing care in any position in which she is interested. If you would like any further details I would be more than pleased to communicate them to you.

Ramona assisted with the organization and implementation of the vision and hearing screenings that is mandated by the State and APS for all 7th graders, and participated fully with assessing students who come into the clinic with a variety of health complaints. She was always on time and reliable, demonstrating the ability to accomplish these tasks in an efficient manner with skill and professionalism.

Ramona has integrity that goes without saying, and I have observed her communicate in such a professional manner under very stressful conditions and problem solve with wisdom. Were I to need medical assistance in a hospital setting, I would request her to be my caregiver. Of late, I have had the opportunity to meet and follow her at St. Joseph’s Hospital (we work different shifts), appreciating her insight and prioritizing manner she initiates with her daily care of patients in addressing issues that need to be resolved.
