Feedback
A For this request, it is not necessary to include this information.
B It is essential that the person listed as a reference has given permission for their name and information to be used by the applicant. This will not appear on the application, but the person responsible for making the contact assumes this permission, and it is not professional to use someone's name without permission.

the RN.
