🩺 YOUR NURSING RESUME IN 2026
Your resume should do more than list where you worked. It should quickly show an employer what you can bring to the role.
SAVE THIS CHECKLIST 👇
✅ Current RN/LPN license and state
✅ Relevant certifications, such as BLS, ACLS, PALS or specialty credentials
✅ Clinical specialties and patient populations
✅ EMR/EHR systems you have used
✅ Key clinical skills and procedures
✅ Leadership, precepting or charge nurse experience
✅ Measurable accomplishments when possible
✅ Recent education and continuing professional development
✅ Relevant healthcare technology experience
✅ Accurate employment dates and job titles
💡 PRO TIP:
Instead of writing:
“Responsible for patient care.”
Try:
“Managed care for a 5-patient Med-Surg assignment while coordinating medications, assessments, patient education and interdisciplinary communication.”
Specific beats generic.
📌 Keep your resume focused on the role you want next, not everything you've ever done.
