Resume

My resume would look like a listing of area Hospitals, Home Health Agencies, and Mental Health Clinics!

If I were to do a resume, I'd keep it to basic info (place of employment, job titles, dates employed) and add something like, "additional information upon request", utilizing the resume as a point of reference for the actual job interview.

I'm not willing (and I would guess most others here aren't, either) to post my CV on the internet, for obvious privacy reasons, and it would take too much time and energy to create a redacted version just to post here, but there are lots of websites that offer templates and examples of resume's and CVs in different specialties. When I went looking a few years ago, I found plenty of sites that offered guidance for nursing resume's and CVs.

As in so many situations in life, Google is your friend. :)

Eh, I've posted mine before, so I'll be lazy and link to it:

I always have to wonder about those obvious privacy reasons...

It's ok if you were nurse at Hedo II or Hedo III (Negro, Jamaica, a, uh...sun worshiper island getaway/large resort) hey, somebody has to be nurse if only to treat sunburn, really...

Anyway...I firmly believe that the best resume is the one that you create and send just after you either had an interview, or managed to find the person who can hire you and just finished a discussion.

Now you know exactly what to emphasize and what to highlight.

Of course we need them to respond to an ad on places like indeed.com. But even there, I believe that each resume should be tailored to emphasize what it is that the employer is seeking.

As far as examples: Go to google then to images and search using: "nurse resume example"

You'll get a thousand or two to look at or read.

By the way, there is no longer any reason for a one-page resume unless everything that's really pertinent to the job does fit on one page. If not, a two page resume seems to be considered just fine these days
