Florida State University. 2000, Professor that Directed the Dissertation: Dr. Brenda Cappuccio. The objective of this investigation was to determine the many literary devices that the poet Nicanor Parra utilized in his effort to create a new type of poetry, a form of writing that he called antipoetry. The investigator analyzed five of his published books, which form the bulk of the writings at the heart of antipoetry. The work of this famous poet is extremely important not only in Latin America, but throughout the world. This project shed some light, not only on the work of Nicanor Parra, but on the literary movement called antipoetry; which created new trends in the poetic world.

85 R» LAKE HIGHLANDS HIGH SCHOOL Richardson Independent School District April 12, 2007 Open Letter of Reference for Ruben Gonzalez Dear Human Resources Director: This correspondence is in recommendation of Mr. Ruben Gonzalez as a candidate for a teaching position with your educational organization. Mr. Gonzalez was a graduate student in the class I taught as an adjunct professor for Texas A&M University- Commerce where he demonstrated initiative, reliability, inquisitiveness, and dedication to excellence in his performance. As a result of his effective communication and human relations skills, Mr. Gonzalez developed positive rapport with me and the other members of the class as we communicated via video technology between the Mesquite Metroplex and Texas A&M-Commerce campuses, and added great value to the course experience for everyone. Mr. Gonzalez exhibits a high level of commitment to the teaching profession and a passion for personal and professional grow which translates into a genuine interest in students' academic success. He also demonstrates a high level of proficiency as a bilingual educator which further contributes to his quality as an applicant. I would not hesitate to hire him for a teaching position at Lake Highlands High School where ] currently serve as campus principal. I encourage you to give Mr. Gonzalez your thoughtful consideration as a candidate for a teaching position. Please feel free to contact me at if you have any questions regarding his qualifications. Sincerely, Dr. Robert M. Iden, Principal Lake Highlands High School9449 Church Road Dallas. Texas Fax

86 The Florida State University Tallahassee, Florida Department a/modern Languages and Linguistics 362 Diffenbaugh Telephone: (850) Fax: (850) March 22, Ruben Gonzalez has asked me to write this letter of recommendation for him, and I am pleased to do so. 1 have known him for over ten years, am familiar with his work as a graduate student, and served as his major professor when he wrote his dissertation. Even though this is something of a "distance letter," I assure you that my sincerity is no less because of that. I refer to distance in chronological terms, as Ruben did his course work and was a graduate teaching assistant at Florida State University several years ago. At the time he felt it necessary to leave Tallahassee, we were sorry to see him go because we were expecting a very good dissertation from him and felt it would be much more difficult if not impossible for him to write it away from the university. Sometime after Ruben moved, the professor who was to direct the dissertation also moved to another city. As you might well imagine, I felt both surprise and satisfaction when, just a couple of years ago, I received a phone call from Ruben saying that he wanted to write the dissertation to finish the Ph.D. requirements and asking if I would be his major professor. To make a long story short, my qualms about that tremendous distance and potential communication issues between Florida and Texas and about his having been out of school for so long, Ruben wrote an impressively solid, well-researched, and beautifully organized and worded dissertation almost entirely, I might add, without any help from me. Each chapter required only minimal revision, and he was able to graduate promptly, Obviously. I have not observed his teaching recently, but I can only assume that he is a most competent instructor based on not only what I know of him personally but on the fact that he has been employed long-term by other institutions since leaving FSU. Given his unfaltering cordiality and collegiality, the motivation and discipline he demonstrated in writing his dissertation, and the intellectual curiosity and industry that seems to drive him, I recommend Ruben to you and encourage you to give his candidacy your most serious consideration. And, of course, please feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance (phone and Sincerely. Brenda Cappuccio ' Associate Professor of Spanish

87 Dr. C. Pat Bagly Professor and Head Department of Agricultural Sciences Texas A&M University-Commerce (903) May 20, 2007 Letter of Recommendation Re: Dr. Ruben Gonzalez Currently I am taking Spanish 132, a class taught by Dr. Gonzalez, so I usually see him three days a week in a teaching setting. It is indeed a pleasure to be in the class with Dr. Gonzalez. The class is most enjoyable because of the enthusiasm he brings to the class and the variety of teaching methods he employs. Let me give you an example of a routine day in our Spanish 132 class: Dr. Gonzalez brings out a 3 ft x 4 ft book in Spanish and we all practice discussing pictures/ items on the various pages A random group of 4 to 7 students are chosen to go to the blackboard and write phrases in Spanish that pertain to the day's lesson and reading materials Students work in groups of two to discuss the lesson, situations, conversations usually only Spanish The class ends with Dr. Gonzalez bringing out a CD or tape player with a recorded song on it, an overhead projector is turned on that has the words to the song (in Spanish, of course) and we will sing the song in Spanish to end the lesson Dr. Gonzalez is a most friendly and likeable man, being firm with the students, but letting them/ me learn in a positive and creative atmosphere. My Spanish has unproved dramatically since I began in me class about one month ago. Dr. Gonzalez is always in class early, and keeps the class busy the entire time. There is little if any wasted time in his class. As you know, I have taken a group of University students to Puebla, Mexico for four years now, being the only international program with classes from A&M-Commerce. When I first attended the class with Dr. Gonzalez, I told him this was the reason I was taking the class was to improve my Spanish for the trip each summer to Mexico. Dr. Gonzalez has volunteered to help recruit students for the "Mexican Expedition," as it is called in the International Programs office, and says he is interested in possibly developing a course to teach in Mexico.

88 Dr. Gonzalez has given me a copy of his resume to review. It is impressive and indicates an excellent background and education in Spanish. While I find him to be an excellent teacher in Spanish 132,1 am aware the job description calls for someone capable of teaching upper level and graduate courses as well. I know that his style of teaching would work well in those upper level/ graduate classes, and from his resume, it appears he is well trained and quite capable of handling those classes. He brings a broad background of experiences that lends creditability to his classes. I highly recommend for your consideration the name Dr. Ruben Gonzalez for the position of Assistant Professor of Spanish in the Literature and Languages Department. 11 I can provide additional information in regards to his candidacy please feel free to contact me. Dr. C. Pat Bagly Professor and Head Department of Agricultural Sciences Texas A&M University-Commerce (903)

89 R. Nat Lunn, Principal S.H. Rider High School 4611 Cypress Avenue Wichita Falls, Texas March 20, 2007 (940) Fax (940) To Whom It May Concern: This letter is to inform you of my knowledge of Dr. Ruben Gonzalez. Dr Gonzalez was employed at my school for the school years of l and During this time he was employed as a Spanish teacher instructing high school students in the mornings and junior high students in the afternoon. This performance of duties was outstanding during this time. His professional evaluations were good and he was well thought of by faculty and students. He did a very professional Job at utilizing enhancement materials in his classes. Spanish music, outside readings, and down loaded resources from the internet was a daily part of his teachings. I would consider Dr. Gonzales to be an asset to any school district. Sincerely, R. Nat Lunn Principal xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Full time assistant professor providing lecture in levels I and II. Instructed students in classroom as well as in a clinical environment Corrections Nurse, Swanson s Correctional Center for Youth. Provided triage, referrals, direct nursing care, and medication administration to incarcerated population. Organized and managed regular clinics involving external physicians & clinics, including ophthalmology, ENT, Med/Surg, and dental professionals. Scheduled and managed external medical consultations in concert with security and other necessary personnel. Created, managed, and maintained patient medical and health records. Organized and facilitated meetings with security managers to ensure infection-control policy compliance. Worked in the Mental Health Treatment Unit where I was a member of a multi-discipline treatment team Registered Nurse, Medical Temps. Worked as a staff nurse for many different hospitals in North Louisiana. I filled the role that was needed by hospitals that were short staffed. While employed with Medical Temps, I worked Med/Surg, telemetry, CV/Telemetry, PCU, CCU, ICU, SICU, CV/ICU, Pscyh, Geri- Psych, ER LSU-Monroe/E.A.Conway, Registered Nurse. Delivered a complete range of RN services and expertise. Accurately obtained and documented patient history and medication lists, assessed individual conditions and needs, and selected departmental referrals for acute and chronically ill patients.

190 Prepared equipment and assisted physicians during patient examinations and treatments. Monitored patient reactions to drugs and carefully documented progress of individuals participating in clinical trials. Maintained a high degree of accuracy to achieve optimal patient acuity monitoring. Research The purpose of my research was to determine if there was a relationship between organizational job satisfaction and anticipated turnover of registered nurses in rural hospitals. The data for the study was obtained via hand delivered questionnaires from five rural hospitals in northeast Louisiana. One hypothesis was tested: There is a direct relationship between the level of organizational job satisfaction, as measured by the Index for Work Satisfaction, and anticipated turnover, as measured by the Propensity to Leave Scale, in rural hospitals. The study found a statistically significant negative correlation between organizational job satisfaction and anticipated turnover of registered nurses in rural hospitals. Within the literature review there were several studies that addressed organizational job satisfaction and anticipated turnover. Sister Callista Roy s adaptation model was used for the theoretical framework. Roy s theory has been widely used and is an accepted theory in the nursing field.
