reference letterRating: (votes: 0) im on the job hunt right now i was just thinking if it is alright if my R.N relative serve as my reference person? thanks for your help. You are better off if you can get a instructor or no-relative to write your letter. Relatives are going to be looked at as biased in your favor. Comment:
Talk to the hiring manager/recruiter. When they ask you for a reference, you could always have one of your nursing professors fax/e-mail a letter to them directly. I am a foreign grad. That's what I did and that was fine with them.
Comment:
As long as you have a couple more letters from non-relatives, I think that you would be fine doing this. It is not standard practice to have relatives write a letter of rec, but I think that if you are not submitting ONLY this letter, it would give your perspective employer a nice glimpse into how a family member views you as a medical professional since she is also an RN. Just my two cents...
Comment:
I wouldn't do it -- a lot of employers specify that references cannot be relatives. At the very least, I would ask potential employers how they feel about that before submitting the reference.
Comment:
NO, I would never use a relative's letter as a recommendation for employment. It's not professioanl.
