Since I haven't been at my job for very long either, and am in the same situation, I will be interested to see what kind of advice comes about. I've yet to ask my nurse manager for a LOR as well for...
Just wanted to post an update on the situation.. luckily everything has worked out in my favor! It turns out that I don't have a free day from orientation until NEXT Friday. But the HR recruiter was...

Babycatcher2be.. I totally agree with you! I know I will be kicking myself in the butt if I just let the chance go. I have every intention of making this interview work out, one way or another I will...
