I have a letter of recommendation from one of my professors in nursing school that is addressed to any potential employers to assist in my landing a job.
I have applied to about 2 dozen places with no call backs yet, and I know some people say that is not enough, and to just keep applying but it's still hard not to feel discouraged.
I was wondering, for those new grads out there & experienced nurses... did you include your letters of recommendation in your applications? Or only take them with you when invited for an interview? From what I have heard, the latter is most common, but on most apps there is a space to upload documents and I was thinking about uploading this letter I have along with my resume to maybe make me stand out a little more among other candidates.
Two of the hospitals that I applied to required them to be uploaded with the application. My recommendations are stellar though, so even if they weren't required, I would have submitted them anyway.

Let me know what you did, or what you think.
