Nurse CV example
This example is for a registered general nurse with four years of experience across medical and emergency wards. Health employers look for three things quickly: that you are licensed, where you have worked clinically, and what you can be trusted with. The CV puts all three near the top.
Who this example is for
Registered nurses and midwives applying to hospitals, clinics and NGOs.
Why this CV works
- The licence and registration status appear under Certifications where a recruiter expects them.
- Each role names the ward or unit and the kind of patients cared for.
- Bullets describe clinical responsibilities and improvements without breaching patient confidentiality.
- Training such as Basic Life Support is listed with dates, which matters for renewals.
Tips for writing your own
Be specific about clinical settings
Name the ward or unit (e.g. emergency, paediatrics, maternity), the typical patient load and any specialist equipment or procedures you are competent in.
Keep licences current and exact
List your registration with the relevant council and its status. If a licence is in renewal, say so. Never list a qualification you do not yet hold.
Never include patient details
Describe your work in general terms. Do not name patients or share anything that could identify them.
