Hello everyone, new to the forums here, and back into nursing after a long absence. :yeah:I recently orientated at a nursing home, and have reactivated my LPN License. Unfortunately, I have only been offered PRN status with the facility, so I am wanting to make a resume. My idea was to put it together on a nurses notes page (kinda hoping to make my resume unique, fun, and to stand out a bit from the pool of applicants.) After "googling" about everything I could think of to find a blank page of nurses notes, I have nothing. Does anyone have any thoughts, or links as to where I could find these forms at please? Have my heart set on doing it this way so...any help would be greatly appreciated! TY

good to have you.
this is just my opinion, but it might be a good idea to rethink your plan. a resume' is to be professional and not cute. i mean no disrespect to you about this. just wanting you to reconsider this idea.

I agree with sirI. Don't make it quirky, just outstandingly professional!

I also agree. Make it professional and make what you put on it be what stands out .... your unique qualities that you bring to the position, your knowledge, education
do put it on good paper though, not just typing paper
