Numbers?

Published

I wrote a similar thread in a different category.

One of our docs state our ER is the 2nd busiest in the state and my nurse manager states it's the third busiest. I'd like to put this in my resume; however, it's just hearsay, unless I can back it up with some numbers. Is there a website that can verify these claims? I've tried Google with no luck.

Specializes in school nursing, ortho, trauma.

i don't know if id be quick to put that on a resume. If you are applying locally, then your prospective employer probably knows how busy that dept is. I can't say that it would be worth taking space away from something else to add that as it's vital to keep your resume one page.

Instead of making the claim that your ER is the third busiest why not just state your annual patient load. For example "Functioned as charge nurse in an ER that sees 75,000 patients per year" That way you are stating facts not potential fiction.

You know something...

That's a great Idea! Thanks
