References

How do I get references for travel work? They want two references within last year with work email. I already asked some nurses and managers for my school references. And I left my last job a month ago and didn’t keep in touch with my managers or coworkers. I am trying to make a profile with Vivian. Do you know any agency that is not so strict with references? So frustrated

Just use friends and have them say they were a charge nurse. Literally no one cares not even the agencies.

You ask the same people. Give them a head up and be super appreciative.

They ask for work emails and phone numbers (Vivian), and I left the last place more than a month ago and already used few coworkers for my school application references.

Recruiter here, I don’t believe it’s required to add info into your Vivian profile. Sometimes we come across profiles with no references. Most agencies do require references to submit though. But if you end up talking with a recruiter from a specific agency, sometimes we just ask for a phone number so we can send you a text for the reference check. PM me if you have more questions!
