Select two individuals as references who will answer questions to provide a recommendation based on your performance in academic or professional settings. The references must be provided by the following individuals: A current nurse manager/supervisor, and An advanced-practice nurse or physician having routinely worked with and observed the work of the applicant. One of the references must be from the student's most recent ICU position. Family members and friends may not serve as a reference. Please make sure each reference is willing to submit answers to the questionnaire online. They will receive a link from "KU Graduate Admissions " with a link to complete the recommendation form and upload their letter. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure both references have provided the evaluation and formal letter prior to the application deadline. Applications without complete reference materials will be marked as incomplete and not be reviewed..
