Resume Help

On my resume, I had a section for my school clinicals and listed each hospital/facility, the units, and the city/state.

I also did a section for my certifications and skills, and included things like BLS, medical computer systems (from my previous job, not nursing school clinicals), etc.

If this particular office is asking for more detail, I would attach a separate sheet, and under each clinical, bullet out specific skills (ie. tele strips, ambulation with gait belt, walker, etc).

Good luck!

I'd do what they say and change it for them on their copy but keep the original basic. Put the clinical sites and maybe the admission dx's of a patient(s) you cared for???

Example-

Clinical Experiences-

St. Lulu's Hospital- January 3rd to January 10th

-Cared for patient 1 day post op from bowel resection

Lulu's Care Facility- March 17th to April 5th

-Cared for patients with dementia, COPD, UTI

Bluehill Psychiatric Hospital- June 19th to July 1st

-Unit assignment: Inpatient Drug Rehabilitation

Thats how I'd put it. Resumes in my opinion should be short, sweet and to the point. Thats how I wrote mine and I know its a good resume. But some places may want to see where you have been and what you have done. I don't see the sense in telling them in detail every little thing you did for the post op patient because it just makes sense that you would do a head to toe assessment, listen for bowel sounds, check vitals and drainage, cough and deep breathing exercises, ambulating etc

Maybe you could put special skills that you did below each one? Add Notable skills- and then list them.
