Hello!I am applying to a nursing program and currently work at a hospital. The program that I am applying to requires 2 letters of rec. In which I have already selected my old boss/o chem teacher. Working at the hospital, I have talked to a few nurses. One of charge nurse/house supervisor went to the school that I am apply to. The nurse sees my exitement, and had offer to write me another postive letter of rec. Should I polietly accept or decline?Please let me know! I need second opinions!Thank you!

My program didn't even require LOR but i turned in two anyway, one from my old boss(nurse manager of crital care) and my micro teacher! I got in on my first try to a very competitive school and the director did mention them in my interview with her after i was accepted.Good luck, hope you get in!
