  • Nurse

    Examples

    Specialty and unit type belong up front, then any certification from a professional association.

  • Name your state-approved training program and its hours; federal rules set a 75-clock-hour minimum.

  • Say if your work was clinical, front desk or both; some states require certification or a license.

  • Place your phlebotomy certification and its issuer near your name; many employers look for one.

  • ICU Nurse

    Templates

    Give ICU type and ratio; one CCRN (Adult) route needs 1,750 critical care hours in two years.

  • Write RDMS with each specialty you passed, such as OB/GYN; RDMS pairs SPI with a specialty exam.

  • Put your RN license on your name line; New York licenses RNs as registered professional nurses.

  • Describe the psych setting and patient group; PMH-BC asks for 2,000 psych nursing hours in 3 years.

  • Charge Nurse

    Examples

    Show charge shifts inside your staff role: how often you took charge, the beds and staff you led.

  • Head your credentials with ARRT Radiography, then any other imaging modality you're certified in.

  • Pair your ARRT credential with your state license, since most states license or certify x-ray techs.

  • List the lab departments and analyzers you ran, plus a state license if your state requires one.

How to write your healthcare resume

Registered nurses need a license from the state where they work, so flag a multistate license: under the Nurse Licensure Compact, nurses can practice in other compact states without getting additional licenses. Nursing assistants can note their listing on the state registry, and life support cards such as BLS and ACLS belong in the same block with their dates.

Describe your clinical setting precisely: unit type, bed count, patient ratio and the charting system you used, such as Epic or Oracle Health. Measure what your unit tracks, like falls, readmissions, turnaround times, audit scores or patients seen per shift, and leave patient names and identifying details out entirely. Recent graduates can list clinical rotations by specialty and hours.

One example bullet: "Precepted six new graduate nurses on a 28-bed cardiac step-down unit while carrying a four-patient assignment."

  • In what order do nursing credentials go after my name?

    Follow the order the American Nurses Credentialing Center recommends: highest earned degree, then licensure, then state designations such as APRN or NP, then national certifications, then awards and other recognition. A family nurse practitioner might write "Jordan Lee, MSN, RN, APRN, FNP-BC."

    The center puts the degree first because it is permanent, while the license and state designation come next because they are what let you practice. Keep the name line to credentials you hold now, and move anything in progress or lapsed to your education or credentials section with dates.

  • How do I list a compact (multistate) nursing license?

    Write it as one credential line, "RN, multistate license (Nurse Licensure Compact)," followed by your home state and the expiration month, so a recruiter sees all three together.

    Revisit that line whenever you move. Under the compact's 60-day rule, nurses moving from one compact state to another must apply for licensure in their new primary state of residence within 60 days. Skip a list of the states you can work in: the compact's map changes as states join, and an employer can check it there. The compact covers the U.S. jurisdictions that have joined it.

  • How do I put travel nursing on my resume?

    List the staffing agency as your employer, then give each assignment a short entry beneath it: hospital, city and state, unit, contract dates, charting system and your usual patient ratio. Grouped this way, back-to-back contracts read as one continuous career, and a nurse manager can count the units and charting systems you have adapted to.

    Worked through more than one agency? Give each its own heading, in date order. One or two bullets per assignment is plenty; spend the detail on the contracts closest to the job you are applying for.

  • How do I list each nursing credential I've earned on the way from CNA to nurse practitioner?

    List each credential with the year earned, newest first, and let the experience section show the climb. In the U.S., each step adds a credential: practical and vocational nurses finish a state-approved program that typically takes about a year, and an LPN can complete an LPN-to-RN program to become a registered nurse. Nurse practitioners need that RN license first, then at least a master's degree, a national certification exam and a state APRN license.

    Leadership is a second track: the Bureau of Labor Statistics names charge and head nurse roles as steps toward senior administration. Examples for each stage: CNA, home health LVN, staff nurse, charge nurse, assistant director of nursing services and hospitalist nurse practitioner.
