Can I apply for a Match before having references?

In order to apply to any Match, you'll need 2 completed references for work done within the past 24 months.

  • Nurse requirement: These must be from either a manager, supervisor or charge nurse.

  • Allied health requirement: These must be from either a manager or supervisor.

โ— Although these are the general requirements, facilities can often have stricter requirements.

Facilities can require:

  • References to be within the last 12 months

  • At least one reference is from a manager or supervisor

So if possible, we strongly encourage you to contact recent and manager-level references first!

We are not allowed to submit you to a hiring manager without references, so we suggest completing this portion of your Trusted profile first. This will prevent missing references from holding up your submissions when you find the perfect Match!
