I'm applying to school for my MSN. Is it bad to ask the nursing school director for a letter of recommendation, if she works at the school I'm applying for? (I'd been employed under her at the nursing school for a short time.) She would surely be involved with the acceptance/rejection process for applications. Unfortunately, the school needs supervisory references, and I only have 2 (including her). Do you think this would hurt my chances of getting accepted if I ask her? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like you said, she is also the one to decide who gets in and who does not. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
