Writing a summary that lands
Do
- Put your license and certifications (RN, BLS, ACLS) near the top — many hospital ATS filters and recruiters screen for an active license before anything else.
- Quantify patient load and outcomes: patients per shift, unit size (bed count), fall or infection reductions, and HCAHPS or Press Ganey percentiles.
- Name the EHR you've used (Epic, Cerner, Meditech) — postings list specific systems and ATS keyword matching is literal.
- State your specialty and setting clearly (med-surg, ICU, ER, telemetry) plus your patient ratio, so recruiters can match you to the right unit.
- Keep it one clean single-column page; list your license number and state, BSN, and clinical rotations so parsers capture every credential.
Avoid
- Listing duties ("provided patient care") instead of outcomes with numbers — falls reduced, satisfaction percentile, readmissions cut.
- Omitting or burying your active RN license and BLS/ACLS status; recruiters skip a resume they can't verify licensure on.
- Using a two-column or graphic template that scrambles credentials and clinical keywords in older hospital ATS parsers.
- Writing "EHR experience" instead of naming the system (Epic, Cerner) the posting actually asks for.
- Vague scale claims ("busy unit") with no patient ratios, bed counts, or acuity to back them up.
