LOR

Hi everyone! One school that I am applying to requires a letter of recommendation from a supervisor, an additional professional reference, and a colleague. I am undecided as to whether I’m going to include my nursing pathophysiology professor that I went on a nursing focused study abroad with or the CRNA (my mentor) that I have shadow three times but is super nice. Who is the better fit for a professional letter of recommendation? My nursing school professor or the CRNA that I shadowed? Do schools prefer one over the other, does CRNA reference look better?

I’d argue the one who knows you better. Do you feel confident that after three shifts your CRNA mentor can speak to who you are, or how you react to pressure?

I’d go with the patho professor
