What should a nurse resume include?
Nursing recruiters in India check three things first: a valid state nursing council registration, the units you have actually worked in, and life-support certifications such as BLS or ACLS. After that they read for patient ratios, procedures handled and documentation habits. A strong nurse resume puts registration near the top and describes ward work with bed counts and equipment.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Critical care nursing
- Ventilator and airway management
- IV cannulation and infusion therapy
- Medication administration and safety
- Wound and pressure-injury care
From our sample resumes:
- Both resumes place the nursing council registration in certifications, so a recruiter can verify eligibility without hunting through the page or asking for another document.
- Merin’s ICU bullets name bed strength, patients per shift and the equipment she handles, which tells a nursing superintendent exactly what unit she can walk into.
