Help with reference

Published

So if you're active in the last 2 weeks you probably know my story, I'm the nurse who's been struggling and unhappy with my current workplace that almost resigned with notice until everyone here helped me.

So I applied a job while being employed and luckily I landed an interview and it was today. After speaking to the manager and HR they want me to do a reference check through a website survey. They are asking me for 3 reference, 1 NM or supervisor then two co workers. I'm not worried for the co-workers because I've been close to some of them but my problem is with my supervisor. How can I approach my supervisor for this? My supervisor is really really good to me and helps me alot and I'm afraid that if I ask them to be my reference that her relationship with me might change or the facility might put a target on my back. Gossip in my place is worst like Grey's anatomy lol. Another problem is that If I ask them to be my reference, and didn't get a job they might think I'm really really trying to resign and their relationship to me might change.

Any tips how to do this? Thanks!

Okay I will not ask for my current supervisor. Maybe my last clinical instructor can replace them but I'm positive with my peers that they are asking

Perhaps try using a person who was your supervisor. I used a charge nurse and the medical director as references.

Good thing I asked first. I was about to ask my current supervisor haah wonder what she will feel and probably dont help me anymore

If I ask something, worst part is if I dont get the job
