To Whom It May Concern:


Marissa Lizarraga was my student during her 10 week psychiatric/mental health nursing clinical
rotation last semester. As a clinical instructor/lecturer with fifty years experience in various
psych nursing areas, I have a unique opportunity to become acquainted with my students as
individuals. Since they're learning to use their own personalities as a therapeutic tool, I try to
help them get to know themselves more in depth and as members of a team on our 3-unit
inpatient facility. During our psych rotation, they also experience working with older adults,
pediatric therapy services, and intensive adult outpatient group therapy. My goal for them is to
practice interpersonal relationship skills that can be generalized and applied to any nursing
endeavor they choose.
Just read Marissa's "Objective" at the top of her resume. This RN-to-be can really deliver on
her promises. Marissa thrives on meeting "the challenges and opportunities for professional
and personal growth". She is perfectly capable of "providing compassionate and excellent
patient care". Marissa has been a merit scholarship student here at the 20th best College of
Nursing in the nation since her freshman year! When I was a BSN student many moons ago,
we called nursing students like Marissa - "a gunner". This is a high compliment, because it
means she is very smart, a quick study, focused, and, above all, persevering - all qualities you
want in a new grad team member.
Now the usual (but true) description of the strengths and attributes that Marissa will bring to your
organization: 1) a broad and in depth nursing knowledge base; 2) highly developed
technical/technology abilities; 3) excellent verbal/written communication skills and finally; 4) an
appreciation of the value of the continued application of evidenced-based nursing practice.
Marissa definitely looks good on paper, but you must interview her to understand her superior
social skills and leadership abilities. It seems she was always ahead of the pack, because of
her organizational skills and keen mind. Here is a mature, balanced, dedicated person - the
type of nurse you would want to hire before someone else does. Marissa would be my RN
choice for caring for me and my family - and to represent all of us as a future nursing leader.
Sincerely,

Susan Markovich, RN, MSN


Clinical Instructor
