\u201cThe day is coming when trained nurses will be required to possess a college education before being admitted to training.\u201d-\u00a0 Susan B. Anthony, 1902<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With more and more nurses earning a bachelor\u2019s degree, joining a BSN program<\/a> can be a great way to stay ahead of the curve in the job market in CT and around the country. And as you prepare your resume to pursue a job in nursing, here are five things you should make sure to highlight:<\/p>\n

Nursing Education Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve just earned your bachelor\u2019s in nursing, making you a stand-out candidate. Make sure to point that out! Connecticut is advancing towards an 80% BSN workforce by the year 2020, and even now 78.6% of all healthcare employers express strong preference for BSN graduates. You should also include details of your education, including the name of your school, your training received, and scholastic achievements, awards, and commendations.<\/p>\n

Honors and Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n

On top of your awards from school\u2014were you inducted into the Honor Society of Nursing?\u2014be sure to highlight any other commendations or special recognitions you\u2019ve received. This includes any special assignments you may have received in previous nursing positions, special recognition you received as part of an internship, and non-nursing specific scholastic awards. Anything that sets you apart from the pack can be invaluable!<\/p>\n

Nursing License and Certification<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make sure you clearly state the details of your nursing licenses, including the type of license you\u2019ve received (LPN, RN, etc.) as well as it the licensing body and expiration date of the license. The same holds true for any certifications you hold.<\/p>\n

Previous Facility Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nurses can work in a wide variety of locations\u2014hospitals, private practices, schools, and more\u2014and so listing your previous facility experience can tell a recruiter a lot about the type of work you are familiar with. If you have worked at or interned with multiple job locations, make sure to highlight them.<\/p>\n

Specific Duties and Accomplishments in Nursing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019ve simply completed multiple internships hours, or have years of experience behind you in the nursing field, make sure you highlight the duties you\u2019ve undertaken. Of course, nurses duties are wide and varied\u2014you\u2019ll be wearing many hats every hour of every day on the job\u2014so considering which duties to highlight can be a challenge. Be specific! \u201cCaring for patients\u201d isn\u2019t a special skill, it\u2019s what\u2019s expected. Talk about the specific tasks you\u2019ve completed, and if you\u2019ve had special duties or accomplishments during your time as a nurse make sure to highlight them.<\/p>\n

Ultimately a BSN degree<\/a> is a great way to stand out when looking for career advancement opportunities!<\/p>\n
