Thanks to all the responses. I am currently working on rounding up references for a new position. I need five, two of whom must be or have been direct supervisors/managers. Yeesh. I work in the same hospital I worked in as a PCA. Guess it's time to tell my manager I'm moving. I love her, but I can't see her being thrilled ('cause I'm so awesome, of course).

How do you find your second job as a nurse? Who (whom?) do you list as a reference if you apply for a new job elsewhere, if you've only worked in one place? I am seriously puzzled as to how this works, but there must be an answer, right? People don't work in the same hospital their whole careers. Or do they?
