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!!!
