Letters of Recc.

[BeeGeeRN]

I am in the process of gathering info for my application to NP school. I am applying to 3 at this time. I have a whole array of people to get my letters of recc from....just wondering who my 3 should be. I have a NP w/ 15+yrs of experience, an new NP (about 8 months in)...those are kind of my "given". But the other one is getting me. I have a friend that just got accepted into NP school (one i'm applying to)..she is a CCRN and has been my preceptor AND my charge nurse when i was in ICU. I also have my current boss....my manager in the Cath Lab (where i currently work). Does it matter? do I go with the NP student/charge nurse or do I go w/ my current boss?

thanks!

My references were 2 instructors from undergrad & the nurse educator with a MSN on my unit. Our references had to have graduate level educations.

Do any of the schools have specific requirements. Mine was specific in what it wanted, so that's what I did. I think they wanted someone who knew me for a long time, someone who could attest to my days in my undergraduate program and someone who had experience with me in my work or something like that.

I had to have a current NP, and the other two were my choice for South University. I used the NP at the clinic where I do case management at, then my medical director who is a MD, and then my current supervisor who is a RN but has her MSN in Health Administration. =)
