Nursing resumes are scanned for licensure, certifications, and clinical setting experience before anything else — a missing license number or expired certification can get a strong candidate auto-filtered.
Built explicitly for nursing and allied health, with certifications boxed prominently at the top — exactly what credentialing reviewers scan for first.
A clinical single-column layout with a certifications grid, suited to nurses with multiple specialty credentials.
Two-column format works well if you're listing several clinical rotations or units alongside core experience.
The hard skills, tools, and certifications ATS software scans for on registered nurse resumes.
List units relevant to the target role in detail, and summarize the rest — an ED posting cares more about your ED time than a brief pediatrics rotation.
Very — many hospital ATS systems hard-filter on active certification status, so list them with expiration dates clearly visible.
