Application question

I am a new grad RN (currently working at a summer camp until Aug) and am applying for a per diem infusion clinic job.

I have lots of personal experience with central lines-currently have a port (And access myself weekly). Because of this I have a lot more knowledge and skill around all things IV than a typical new grad.

I want to include this in my application, but am not sure how to go about doing it without revealing two much of my medical history...

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Being an infusion nurse is A LOT more than just knowing how to access and care for an implanted port, as you probably know. However, if I were you, I would put on my resume that you have a good working knowledge of implanted ports &/or other central IV catheters, which includes their care and maintenance and troubleshooting complications. And, that I would be eager to learn what it takes to help my patients have the best clinical outcomes with their IV catheters and their infusion modalities.

Infusion nursing has been my love since 1990; I wouldn't want to do any other specialty.
