Resume Help

[NurseLiz]

Since I know that you all have to submit resumes from time to time I was wondering if you have found any good resume templates or at least examples. I have never had a resume in the past and I plan to apply to an agency that wants a resume.

Thanks
Liz

Hello Liz,

I wouldn't obsess over it too much, all they really want is to show on paper that you've worked in nursing and what types of nursing you have done.

You can find some useful resources on these websites:

Resumes: The Recruiter's Perspective Bridget Feery, RN, BSN; Christine M. Tierney, RN, C, MSN:"Theresa has worked as a med/surg nurse at her hospital for the past six years. At a staff meeting yesterday, a supervisor informed her and her coworkers that their unit would be merging with one of the other med/surg units. Because there are no transfer opportunities, many nurses will lose their jobs, including Theresa."

Microsoft Office has a good resume wizzard. You chose the type of resume, and it just asks the information then puts it together for you.
