Will you hire a nurse w/o reference letter?Rating: (votes: 0) i graduated in another country but i live now here in new york & i passed the nclex rn exam few weeks ago. i have never work before so i dont have an employer to recommend me. thank you. Hi!Ask your clinical instructors or your dean of nursing for a referal letter. That's what my friend from California did. He is a foreign grad. Comment:
I also had a previous employer, not in health care, write a letter outlining my good qualities as an employee and saying that they would highly recommend me for any position I was qualified for. Good luck.
Comment:
I had a few teachers and clinical instructors give me a reference, as well as the hospital I volunteered at 2 days a week write me a letter as well.It never hurts to ask them for a letter!GOOD LUCK!!!!
Comment:
I am a foreign grad. Ask your professors if they would e-mail or fax a letter of recommendation to HR.
Comment:
While "letter of recommendation" is the common term for the letters, HR and a company is more interested in a reference (hence the older term, references). And it is not limited to employment references. A personal character reference/testament from another professional (NOT a family member) who has known your for a long time, not necessarily in your field, will go just as far, and in some cases much farther than a professor that you had for a semester or a preceptor that you had for 3 months. Don't get hung up on it having to be an employer or co-worker. You want a letter from someone who can speak to your strengths, ethics, and character.
Comment:
If someone has worked in a foreign country they can still produce a written letter from their past employer and pay a certified translator to translate the letter and attach it to a resume. Having worked in a foreign country is not an excuse for not complying with this requirement.
Comment:
i will contact my clinical instructors in my country.thank you all guys for your replies.i really appreciate it.
