I already have 3 secured letters of recommendation - 2 from science professors & 1 from a DO. I have also held a home care position as a nurse for 6 years. Would a lor from my nursing supervisor be an asset, or unnecessary? opinions please - FYI I am applying both MD and DO. Don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks!!

Might as well. I collected a letter from an MD, a DO, my prof of epidimeilogy, science writing class, and genetics prof. Not sure if I'm going to send all out but I just got as many as I could and have them stored in Interfolio.
On another note, does anyone know if sending out 5 letters would be sensible or do schools limit the amount? I will probably be sending out both the MD and DO but as for the science, they are probably relatively similar. Would I just send out 1 or 2?
Cheers.

Yes, def get the other letter. It's another perspective on your work ethic. Can only help you!
Yes, there are limits on number of letters (5 for Acomas) and different schools have slight variations in requirements. Many take a committee OR two science professors and many DOs want a physician and some a DO specifically. From there is varies. Also many want official letter head and original signature (they won't take cursive type sig).
