To Dr. Lloyd and Associates at the Loma Linda University School of Nursing:

We, the following, understand that Anthony DelaCruz has been dismissed from the Loma Linda School of Nursing, Nurse Anesthesia Concentration. We would like it to be known that we support his resolve to appeal this decision, and encourage a thorough review of his performance within the concentration before a final decision is made regarding his position in this program.

We attest to Mr. DelaCruz’s character, work ethic and intellect. We believe that Mr. DelaCruz is an honorable individual who is consistently looking out for the interests of those to whom he provides care. He is a hard working individual who has proven himself academically as a successful student within the classroom. He has spent extensive amounts of time preparing for each clinical experience, and he has passed the NSEE exam as a demonstration of his knowledge of anesthesia related concepts.

We were surprised to learn of Mr. DelaCruz’s dismissal given the above characteristics and simply ask for a thorough consideration regarding his abilities to safely provide anesthesia as a future Nurse Anesthetist. Please consider his appeal and our petition behalf of his character, work ethic and intellect. Thank you.

I worked with Anthony during his clinical rotations and he was always prepared and professional. Never saw him cut corners. He really cares about his patients and deserves a second chance to finish this program.

Tony is a very vigilant anesthesia provider. I have worked with him in the OR. I saw him provide safe anesthesia care for his patients from start to finish. Intraoperatively, he maintained adequate hemodynamic stability and utilized all of his 5 senses to stay in tune with what was going on with the patient. He had a plan but when the patient threw an unexpected variable at him Tony took action in a timely manner and maintained patient safety with adequate anesthesia.

I can personally attest to Tony's work ethic, character, and intellect. Tony is always prepared, in fact "over-preparing" himself for clinicals. On multiple occasions I have noticed him staying up very late in order to better prepare himself for the next day. He is extremely organized and pays close attention to detail. I have only heard wonderful things about Tony from other providers in the clinical setting. I have studied with Tony on multiple occasions and he has always been very knowledgeable about all topics of anesthesia. I have never questioned his knowledge or learning capabilities. Tony is an honest, compassionate, and selfless individual that is always there to provide a word of encouragement/prayer to myself or anyone else in need. I believe that he exemplifies the values of Loma Linda, and I can not think of a more worthy candidate for receiving a second chance in this program.
