Common questions
What should a nursing reference letter say?
Who the writer is and how long they have worked with the person, two or three specific examples of their clinical skill, judgment and teamwork, how they treat patients and families, and a clear recommendation. The tool uses only the examples you give and leaves a [bracket] where a detail would help.
Can I draft my own reference letter for my manager?
Many managers ask for that. Write it from what they have seen of your work, then send it to them to change, approve and sign. Never send a letter in someone's name that they have not approved.
Is it free?
Yes, with no sign-up. What you write is used to write the letter and is not stored. Applying for a new role? See open healthcare jobs with the pay employers post.
