Was anyone else nervous when asking for letters of recommendation? I have shadowed four different clinics and only felt a good connection with one of the several PTs. So far I have asked three out of four people for letters of LORs but only the 1st proposal came with ease (my professor) and the 2nd PT, the one I worked 1000 hours under was alright.
I am about to ask for one from an acute PT and feel extremely nervous, even with 100 observation hours under my belt I somehow don't feel like I did well enough around them. Being in an acute setting, all I was allowed to do was watch and socialize with the patients anyways-- I wasn't even allowed to touch them or discuss their medical history due to HIPPA. I am just baffled at what they could possibly write about as I was a volunteer who basically just cleaned equipment and they don't know me deeper than from just the surface.
If anyone else has any words of wisdom or can relate it would put my anxiety at ease it would be much appreciated.
