Clincal Rotations?

Nurses Job Hunt

I'm not sure whether to put my clinical rotations on my resume or not. My career adviser at school to definitely put it on there so they can see all the different hospitals I've been in. However, a nurse recruiter told me once that they obviously know I did all my clinical rotations and it's not pertinent to put it on the front page, if at all. Opinions?

I agree with the nurse recruiter. It is assumed that you will have done clinicals in school. However, if you have done a capstone or spent extra time in specific units, you might want to include that.

When you apply to a unit, you can include clinical information that is pertinent in your cover letter. For example, "As soon as I started clinicals in the ED, I knew that was the place for me..." (then explain why) if you are applying for a job in the ED.
