What makes this nursing resume work

Clinical recruiters and ATS parsers look for the same things. This example hits both.

✦

Licences up front

Registration and certifications sit in their own section, so a screener confirms eligibility in seconds instead of hunting through experience.

✦

Clinical keywords

Patient care, triage, EMR, IV therapy and wound care appear both in the skills list and inside the bullets, where parsers weight them.

✦

Ward-level detail

"28-bed acute medical ward" and "precepted 9 nurses" show scope. Specifics beat generic duty statements on every shortlist.

How to tailor it to a nursing job ad

Paste the posting into CinnoVate and the ATS checker compares your CV against it.

1

Match the speciality

If the ad is for paediatric or ICU nursing, lead with that setting in your title and summary rather than "nurse".

2

Name the systems

Epic, Cerner, SystmOne — list the EMR the employer uses if you have worked with it. The checker flags missing keywords.

3

Show patient outcomes

Replace "provided patient care" with the caseload, ward size or improvement you delivered.
