Dear Donna,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request a letter of recommendation from you in support of my application for the vent unit at St. Joseph Hospital.

As a recent graduate of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ, I am eager to begin the next chapter of my nursing career. During my time at CareOne at Wellington in the sub-acute geriatric unit, I had the privilege of learning under your guidance and observing firsthand your commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care. The experience not only deepened my clinical skills but also strengthened my dedication to serving the geriatric population with empathy and professionalism.

Given your role in supervising my clinical rotation and your familiarity with my work ethic, clinical abilities, and interpersonal skills, I believe your recommendation would provide a valuable and credible perspective. I would be honored if you could write a letter reflecting on my time under your supervision and my potential as a professional nurse.

If you are willing and available, I would be happy to provide any additional information you may need, including a copy of my resume, personal statement, or details about the opportunity I’m applying for. The deadline for submission is August 11, 2025, and the letter can be sent to Leah at L.anderson@gmail.com referencing myself in the subject line.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I truly appreciate your support and mentorship.

Warm regards,
Sean Phillips
