To whom it May Concern:
Daniel Pyron has worked for me as a 3-11 supervisor for six months. I found him to be trustworthy and honest. He was very dependable and punctual. His skills as an LPN were good and his work was completed on time and accurately. He was a very good employee for Arrowhead Nursing Center.
Rose Street, RN
Director of Nursing
Daniel Pyron, L.P.N. has been employed by Anchor Hospital since April 16, 1990. He has been under my supervision since October of 1991. He has been a dependable, caring individual.
Due to recent downsizing, Daniel's position has been eliminated. He has been a valuable member of the Nursing Team and is capable of taking charge of the nursing unit in the absence of the R.N.
I recommend Daniel for a position where his skill, knowledge, and expertise may be utilized to the fullest.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Susan K. Anderson, R.N.
Director, Nursing Services
Some Possibilities:
But I am open to other challenges, new tasks and skills.
