Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation of Michael Mendoza who is among the top students across academic, interpersonal, and thinking-reasoning domains. I have known Michael for one year and find them to be very professional, engaged, and articulate in both written and verbal communication. I observed excellence in collaborative skills and critical thinking during our small group sessions. After completing my classes, this student continued in our BSN-Integrative Health (BSN-IH) program taking the knowledge and skills gained in my courses to provide exemplary patient care in a student nurse role.
Michael is a leader, inside and outside the classroom, and excels in interdisciplinary collaborations. Our BSN-IH program prepares students with a professional toolkit, emphasizing both conventional and integrative approaches to clinically managing health, wellness, illness, and chronic conditions across the lifespan. In my courses, students earn the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Healthcare Quality Improvement Certificate in Quality & Safety: A 13 course (35+ hours) certificate in improvement capability, patient safety, leadership, person-and-family-centered care, triple aim for populations. Students are prepared to participate in evidence-based practice and contribute to quality improvement projects.
Michael 's record of active citizenship and leadership in clinical settings is matched in the community where he serves as a personal health and wellness preceptor, a postpartum depression coalition intern, and an El Rio Community Health Center intern. He has professional experience as a high needs recovery coach, behavioral health technician, medical and vitamin clerk, and a licensed massage therapist. Michael provides valuable insight from professional and student nurse perspectives regarding future nursing practice.
Thank you for the opportunity to offer my highest recommendation for this candidate, which I reserve for the top 5% of my students. Please contact me if I can provide additional information or insight.
Sincerely yours,
Lorre Laws, Ph.D., R.N.
