I need advice about a reference for my application.
Both CRNA programs I'm applying to require one of your 3 references to be from your current nurse manager. The problem is I just started a new job in February and I feel a little weary about asking my manager for a reference for school so soon after being hired. She knows me well because l worked as an agency ICU float nurse for 6 months at this hospital last year. I worked on this unit alot and that's the reason I got this job without even interviewing. I'm just worried that she will think less of me when I'm just starting in this unit and now I'm going to be applying for grad school. Even if I'm accepted, the first year of both programs are online so you can still work full time. I wouldn't be leaving my position till July 2017 if I'm accepted...should I be feeling this nervous/scared to ask her or am I being overly paranoid? Thanks!
