The DON at my last job loved me and promised me a great reference. But the nurse recruiter where I applied insisted on calling the charge nurse on the unit (said it's "their policy"). Well, this charge nurse never liked me and is an unsophisticated little dope who doesn't know the first thing about giving a reference...said a lot of untrue subjective things about me (said I was unable to handle stress, incorrectly stated I did not give notice, a lot more). This unfair reference cost me my dream job...I am in tears!!! Any way to salvage the situation?
