Example of weak resume
Job requires: "Triage and trauma care"
Resume says: "Worked in hospital"
Worked in hospital • Helped patients • Assisted team
Better example
Performed triage in high-volume ER (30+ patients per shift) • Provided trauma care and stabilization • Administered IV medications • Used Epic EMR for documentation
What most ER nurse resumes miss
- No procedures listed (IV, monitoring, trauma)
- No patient volume or ER intensity
- No EMR system mentioned
- No certifications beyond basic nursing
This is why experienced nurses still get rejected.
How to improve your ER nurse CV
- List emergency procedures and trauma experience
- Add certifications (BLS, ACLS, PALS)
- Include EMR systems (Epic, Cerner)
- Show real ER workload (patients per shift)
- Match your resume to each job
