References are an important part of any job application process. When applying to nursing jobs that you feel qualified for, good references can be one of the keys to landing the position.

That’s why it’s so important to cultivate and maintain positive relationships with coworkers and supervisors in every job. Having a supervisor who can vouch for your skills, experience, and dedication to the field is essential to standing out as a candidate for a great job. Take the time to select strong references to include in your resume.

Be sure to let the individuals know that you’ve listed them as references so that they can be prepared if contacted by a potential employer.
