Frequently asked questions

How long should a registered nurse resume be?

One page for new grads and most staff nurses; two pages is acceptable for 10+ years, charge or management roles, or many certifications and specialties. Keep it single-column so hospital ATS parses your license, certs, and clinical keywords cleanly.

Where do I list my RN license and certifications?

Near the top, in a dedicated Licenses & Certifications section: RN license (state and status), BLS, ACLS, and any specialty certs (CCRN, CEN, PALS) with the issuing body. Many hospital systems screen for an active license before a human reads the resume.

How do I write a new-grad nursing resume with no experience?

Lead with your BSN/ADN, NCLEX-RN status, and clinical rotations — name the units (med-surg, ICU, ER), patient loads, hours, and any measurable outcome. A capstone or preceptorship with a quantified result beats a generic objective.

What metrics should a nurse put on a resume?

Patients per shift and unit bed count, HCAHPS or Press Ganey satisfaction percentiles, fall and infection (CLABSI/CAUTI) reductions, medication-error and readmission rates, and door-to-triage or discharge times. Numbers turn "provided excellent care" into evidence.
