Writing a letter to recommend someone you know for a job position is a common practice in employment. In medicine and health care, being among a student nurse’s or nursing professional’s character references entails vouching for them, as well as verifying certain information a potential employer may ask you to verify. Being listed as a character reference on a health-care professional’s resume is relatively similar to writing a letter of recommendation for them. The main difference between the two is the means employed in providing verification for information.
If you have been approached by a health-care professional and have been requested to write a recommendation letter, the Sample Letters seen on this page may be of help to you.
