I would list it as
ABC Hospital City St, February 2011-present
Charge RN - Adolesecent Unit August 2011-present
list skills - ex. float as charge to other units XYZ
Staff RN - Adolescent Unit May 2011- August 2011
list skills
Staff Nurse - Various Units, Feburary 2011-May 2011
list skills
I would not list if it was PRN, part-time or full time, only if they ask. I know some places actually want to know how many hours you worked.
I would list it like this to show longevity with your job, and always list the most current job titile first.

Hello everyone, I'm currently sprucing up my resume. I've only been a registered nurse for 1 year, and I have been working in one psychiatric hospital for the entire time.
I started out PRN and worked various units, doing various things
Then I was offered a full time position on a core unit as a float nurse (so when census was low on this unit, I would float elsewhere) and did various things there as well..
THEN I was promoted to charge nurse of core unit, and have done it all. Since then, I have charged a few other units when other charge nurses took a vacation, the DON of the geriatric unit would request me to charge her unit when her nurse was out, and I have charged a dual diagnosis unit when pulling overtime hours.
So my question is, would it be appropriate to bullet the following:
- PRN Registered Nurse February 2011-May 2011
(will list various speciality units I worked on, and skills I achieved)
- Core Adolescent/Child RN - Float May 2011-August 2011
(will list the skills I achieved, the duties I was responsible for, and how I floated to other units as needed and assisted there as well)
- Charge Nurse, RN of Adolecent/Child August 2011-Present
(will list my responsibilties)
Would it be appropriate to list that I was offered the position to become a full time employee? Would it be appropriate to list that I was promoted, or would just the new bullet of Charge Nurse alone be obvious?
Would it be appropriate to list under the Charge Nurse bullet that I have since experienced charge nurse responsibilities on other units when requested?
I hope this makes sense and doesn't sound confusing, thank you in advance for any assistance :)
