To whom it may concern:
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of support for Ms. Anessa Martir, R.N. I have had the opportunity to
work closely with Anessa for the past three years in the Level Two Nursery at Texas Children’s Hospital. In
addition, Anessa cared for my own premature daughter when she was hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit
for approximately one month from August 22, to September 22, 2011.
Anessa consistently stands out from her peers as a truly exceptional neonatal nurse. She functions on bedside rounds
at the level of an upper level resident as she knows every detail about her patients, the consulting services who have
seen him or her, and the plans for the day. She usually knows her patients far better than the pediatric residents
assigned to their care, even if even if she only cared for these children since the start of her shift. Not only does she
clearly communicate her patients’ needs and clinical changes to the medical team, she is always willing to go above
and beyond what is required of her to make sure that her patients receive only the very best care and follow-up.
Anessa is also a team player. She is aware that many interdisciplinary services see and treat the patients she cares
for, and she does an excellent job communicating accurately and facilitating conversation between services.
I have also seen Anessa’s care for her patients through the eyes of a parent. I was very fortunate that Anessa was one
of the primary nurses who cared for my daughter Eleanor. When I came to the hospital to visit my daughter each
day, Anessa made sure she was always clean, dry and dressed in a new set of baby clothes. Anessa always honored
my physician husband’s and my requests as parents for our daughter, whether it was to play her soft classical music
in her isolette, or to obtain a breast pump at the bedside to make expression of my breast milk easier. Anessa also
made sure that we were aware of the plans for the day if we had not had a chance to speak with her physicians yet.
She was joyful at each small accomplishment my baby made, and she was consistently encouraging to us as parents.
My husband still speaks highly of the excellent care she gave our daughter.
I trust Anessa implicitly. Her acumen of knowledge is high. Her work ethic is excellent. Her compassion and joy for
her patients is infectious and makes working with her a pleasure. I am very sad that Anessa will be leaving us here at
Texas Children’s. However, I know that she will do well in any hospital NICU setting lucky enough to recruit her. I
recommend her to you with the utmost enthusiasm. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of further
assistance.

To Whom It May Concern:
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with insight into Anessa Martir’s work ethic and care of preemie
infants from a parent’s perspective. On November 2, 2011, my husband and I were very blessed to deliver
fraternal quadruplets, Emma, Olivia, Chloe, and Luke. After spending about two weeks in the Level 3 Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit at Texas Children’s Hospital, our children were transferred to the Level 2 NICU wing. That
is where we met Anessa.
At that point, our children needed to learn how to eat, breathe well on their own, and grow. Anessa consistently
demonstrated competence in caring for them. She was not intimidated by their apnea and bradycardia
episodes. She handled it swiftly and calmly. I cannot express how important it was for Richard and me to
observe her handle them calmly and competently. Our nerves were raw during that very stressful time of
waiting. Any stress we felt from any healthcare provider only magnified our worry and concern. Anessa’s
presence only calmed our concerns and never magnified them.
We began to notice that the children seemed to progress better under Anessa’s care. In hindsight, we believe it
was because she took the time to get to know each of their histories so she was familiar with what they could
do. Much of their time in NICU 3 was a trial-and-error process to see if they could breathe well with less
oxygen, eat well without oxygen, and eat well from a bottle. Anessa knew them well enough to know when they
were ready to progress further and not backtrack.
For those reasons, we asked her to be the primary nurse for our children. She graciously accepted our request
to care for our children during every shift she worked during our two-month stay in Level 2 of the NICU.
Anessa repeatedly demonstrated her familiarity with the children, alerting the doctors, nurse practitioners, and
therapists of any discrepancy in their behavior, appearance, or vital signs. She readily educated us on how to
respond to various situations that we may encounter at home. She kept us informed about tests that were done
on the kids. And she treated us extremely well, talking with us about the kids and how they were doing.
Richard and I appreciated how Anessa added her touch to her daily job requirements, exceeding what was
required and truly caring for our children and us. Any patient would be blessed to have her as their nurse.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Traci C. Dvorak

To whom it may concern;
We are the parents of triplets, who were born on September 9, 2010. They were born at
32 weeks, 8 weeks premature. Since they were born prematurely and very small, all 3 weighed in
at around 3 lbs; we had to leave them at Texas Children Hospital, NICU. This was one of the
hardest things we had to deal with. They stayed in there for a month, which was one of the
longest month we had to live through. During their stay, we had a lot of apprehension and
worries. We were of course sad to have to leave our new born babies in the hospital, but in the
end, we realized this was for the best. During their stay in the hospital, we had many different
nurses, doctors and care givers that helped us. We of course wanted nothing but the best care
givers for our children.
One of the nurses that we will never forget is Anessa Martir. She was one of the nurses
that took very good care of our babies. She always had a smile every time we would visit our
babies and she would always fill us in on any new development. She made us really feel
welcome in the unit, she made us feel at ease and comfortable even though we had to leave our
babies in NICU. Anessa always answered our questions, she always gave us updates and she
made us feel that she really cared for the well being of our triplets! She is not only a nurse but
she to is a parent and as a parent she understood how we felt. We felt like she took care of
triplets as if they were her own. She is the type of nurse that any family going through the
hardships of leaving their new born babies in the hospital needs! We will never forget Anessa and
we will always be thankful to her and the staff at Texas Children for taking care of our 3 angels.
People don’t understand that a bright and shining face makes a big difference in people’s lives;
Anessa has made a difference in our family’s life!
To a grateful parents of three!

To Whom It May Concern:
During the fall semester of 2010, I was a nursing student at the University of
Texas School of Nursing Health Science Center at Houston, and I was taking a
Pediatrics course as part of my core curriculum. Anessa Martir was my
assigned clinical preceptor in the Level 2 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at
Texas Children’s Hospital in the Houston Medical Center. I spent a total of 14
weeks with her.
Anessa is a fantastic preceptor and a wonderful nurse. She exemplifies a true
professional and knows how to deal with her patients and their parents while
teaching a student. I really enjoyed working with her, and I learned much from
her. At first, we worked on basic neonatal care and medication administration.
Then, we moved onto charting and time management until I could take
patients by myself. Anessa always stressed to me the importance of patient
safety.
Today, I am a staff nurse in an LVAD/Transplant ICU. From time to time, I still
fall back on my experiences with Anessa in my daily practice. I am very happy
to have had such an amazing teacher, and I believe that I am a better nurse for
the time I spent with her.
Sincerely,
Karen P. Barwald, RN, BSN
