Registered Nurse résumé mistakes to fix first
- 01
No patient load. "Provided care to patients" without ratio (4:1, 6:1) underweights vs candidates who specify.
- 02
Missing certifications. BLS, ACLS, PALS, NIHSS, TNCC — list every one, with current expiration if recent. Many JDs filter on these.
- 03
No EMR specificity. Epic vs Cerner vs Meditech matters — match the JD's system or list yours.
Best-effort guidance on common Germany conventions, not legal advice — verify specifics before relying on them, especially anti-discrimination rules.
