Build a Job-Winning Nurse Resume
Nurses need resumes that clearly highlight patient care skills, clinical expertise, and certifications such as BLS, ACLS, or RN licensure. Recruiters want to see not just where you worked, but the quality of care and measurable impact you delivered.
A mistake many nurses make is using vague language like “Provided patient care.” Instead, use quantifiable details: “Cared for 12 patients per shift, improving patient satisfaction scores by 15%.”
ResumeReady provides pre-structured nurse resume templates, plus AI tools that help refine your skills section and ensure your resume is ATS-friendly.
