Contact Information
-
Begin nursing resumes with basic contact information for how prospective employers should plan on contacting you if they are interested in hiring you. Include your full name and nursing title, address, telephone number, or mobile number and usually an email address. Put this information on the top of your resume and on every page, if it ends up longer.
Career Objective
-
A career objective clearly underlines your career aims and objectives as a professional in the medical industry as a nurse. As this objective is the first statement prospective employers will read on your resume, make it well-written, clear and succinct, speaking precisely about the role you would want to play as a nurse within their organization. Don't sum up who you are as a worker with this one statement, yet allow it to convey your passion and interest in the job itself to prospective employers.
-
Experience
-
Including previous work experience on a resume is incredibly important, as the medical profession needs experienced people with as much knowledge as possible, and there is little margin for error. List these jobs with as much contact information as possible along with references, so that prospective employers can contact places you used to work and get their take on your abilities in the nursing field. The more experience you can present to prospective employers the better, especially if it is at larger hospitals or medical organizations.
