Applying for new RN position, put down former (bad) supervisor?

[09NewGrad]

Hey guys I really need some advice. I'm applying for a new job right now and I'm wondering what I should put in the (Supervisor) box on the application. I left my former position due to having a poor supervisor, and actually more than half the staff on the floor have left in the last year due to this as well. She is a very vindictive person and I'm afraid if I put her down she will give a bad reference even though I left on proper terms. She's the type of person that acts like if you are no longer on her ship you are the enemy.

The house supervisor was awesome and said I could gladly use him as a reference. Though he was not technically my supervisor. What should I do??

Hey guys I just wanted to give you an update. I did manage to get an interview with the job I am seeking next week. Does this mean they already called my references or can they still call after the interview?

Most places call after interview then based on that will make an offer if interested.

Good luck
