Resume - what to leave in and out?

Nurses Career Support

Published

Specializes in MedSurg (Ortho), OR.

Hello!

I am a new nurse less than 7 months w/ a license and I have a question...

What exactly do we as nurses list in our resumes?

We all do our admission, D/C, assessment, flow sheet, instruct our NAs regarding care, use our judgement regarding tx etc (right?)...

SO, should I even list it?

Or should I just go with what my floor specializes in?

My floor is a MedSurg Ortho floor.

Surgical:

we get up to 40% ortho patients with sometimes PCAs, Epidurals, then sometimes blood. The pts get their knee, hip, shoulder replaced, debrided. etc...

Medical:

we get a mix of pt from syncope episodes w/ pt on TMS, COPD, MS exacerbation, dehydration, pneumonia, we do drips (heparin, insulin, agratoban)

Also...

Do I still list down the experiences during my school clinicals as well?

So, any information would be greatful... If I have posted this in the wrong section I am very sorry.

Thank you!!!
