A registered nurse resume should prominently feature your RN license (with state), degree (BSN or ADN), certifications (BLS, ACLS, CCRN, etc.), clinical specialties, unit types worked, patient-to-nurse ratios, EMR systems used, and measurable patient outcomes. Include quantified achievements such as infection rate reductions, patient satisfaction scores, or process improvements.

List your RN license and most important certifications (ACLS, BLS, CCRN, PALS) in a dedicated certifications section and also include key ones after your name in the professional title line, e.g., 'Registered Nurse (RN, BSN, CCRN).' Always include the issuing organization and year of certification or renewal.

The most valued skills vary by specialty, but universally important ones include patient assessment, medication administration, EMR documentation (name the specific system), care planning, infection control, and interdisciplinary communication. For specialty units, add specific skills like ventilator management (ICU), fetal monitoring (L&D), or triage protocols (ER).
