A resume builder for nurses — RN and LPN/LVN · ICU, ER, med-surg, tele, OR, NICU, L&D, charge, travel
The nursing resume writing service that puts your real units on the page.
Your resume says "provided patient care." Your work was a whole unit: 1:4 assignments, drips you titrated, nurses you precepted, shifts you ran as charge. We work backwards through your real units together, show you what you left off, and you confirm what's yours, so the finished resume is complete, honest, and reads cleanly to the software that screens it.
A resume build is $29, paid once. It never auto-renews, and there is nothing to cancel.
- We make nothing up.
- We ask. You decide.
- You pay once.
Who this is for
Four moves, one problem: the resume undersells the unit
Moving to a new unit
Tele to ICU, med-surg to ER, floor to OR. The overlap is real — drips, codes, rhythms — but your resume never named it. We put the true overlap on the page and never dress the gap up as experience, so a manager can see exactly what you bring.
New hospital or health system
Same unit, new employer. Their recruiter and their screening software are reading for your license status, your cert block, your ratios, and which charting system you know. Every one of those belongs on the page, exactly as you hold it, and we write each one only from your own resume or from a suggestion you confirm.
Into charge or leadership
You've made the assignments, absorbed the call-offs, kept beds moving. It was "just part of the job," so it never made the page. We help you put that scope on the page in your own words and numbers, including beds, staff, and shifts, and you confirm each line.
Travel contracts
Six contracts in three years is a strength when each one is stated cleanly: facility, unit type, ratio, float status, charting system. We keep them contract by contract, as your resume lists them, and your multistate license status goes on the license line when your resume shows it or you confirm it.
What nurse recruiters actually screen for
The words hospital screening software looks for, and the details a nurse manager reads a minute later
License and compact status
RN or LPN/LVN, the state, and whether it's a multistate license under the Nurse Licensure Compact. It goes on the license line when your resume shows it or you confirm it. If you don't hold it, we never add it.
Life-support and course cards
BLS, ACLS, and PALS, most often from the American Heart Association (the American Red Cross issues its own cards, so name the issuer on yours). NRP from the American Academy of Pediatrics. TNCC from the Emergency Nurses Association. Listed exactly as held, with the current-through date, because credentialing will check every one.
Specialty board certifications
CCRN and PCCN (AACN Certification Corporation), CEN (Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing), CMSRN (Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board), RNC-NIC and RNC-OB (National Certification Corporation), CNOR (Competency & Credentialing Institute). If you're sitting for one soon, it is never printed as held; you can add it yourself with a plain label such as "CCRN exam scheduled 03/2027."
Unit, bed count, and ratios
"ICU" says less than "24-bed CVICU, typical 1:2 assignments." Unit type, bed count, and your usual ratio is the one line another nurse reads and instantly understands.
Charting systems
Epic or Oracle Health (the system most nurses still call Cerner), by name. Hospitals often screen for the one they run, and a match can save orientation time.
Precepting and charge
How many nurses you precepted. How often you took charge, and what you ran when you did. These are the lines managers look for, and the ones most nurses leave off.
What the rebuild looks like
Same true shifts — a resume that finally says what they were
This is a sample nurse, not a real person. In a real review, every number comes from you: from the resumes you upload, or typed in by you when you edit a line. If you do not confirm something we found, it does not go in.
Before
"Registered Nurse. Provided patient care on a busy medical unit. Helped train new staff and worked as charge when needed."
After — built only from what the nurse gave us or confirmed
"RN, 32-bed telemetry unit, typical 1:4 assignments: continuous cardiac monitoring, titratable drips per protocol; Epic charting. Precepted 6 new-graduate nurses through unit orientation. Relief charge 4 shifts a month: acuity-based assignments for 8 RNs and 3 techs. BLS and ACLS (American Heart Association), current through 06/2027."
Nothing was added that wasn't already true. The bed count, the ratio, the precepting, the charge shifts, and the cert dates were all real, and the nurse supplied each one while reviewing her lines.

Common questions
Is this a nursing resume writing service or a resume builder for nurses?
It's both. We do the digging a writer would do, working backwards from your job titles and units to find the skills, charting systems, and certifications you left off, and you do the confirming a builder asks of you. Everything we find is shown to you first, one at a time, and you add it, edit it, or skip it. Nothing is made up.
I'm moving to a new unit — say, telemetry into the ICU. How do you handle the gap?
We keep it honest. We put the real overlap on the page — the drips you already titrate, the codes you've worked, ACLS in actual use — and we never present the unit you're moving toward as experience you already have. Stepdown experience dressed up as ICU experience is something we won't write.
I travel. How should contracts show up?
List each contract as its own line, with what a recruiter actually checks: the facility and unit type, the contract length, your typical ratio there, whether you floated, and the charting system. Your license line carries your multistate status under the Nurse Licensure Compact when your resume shows it or you confirm it. If your current resume lists each contract, we keep each one as its own entry, and you confirm every new detail we suggest.
Why the AR Pass instead of a single build?
A Single Resume Build ($29) makes your nursing resume complete and honest, and you can use it any time within 12 months of buying it. The AR Pass ($99) aims each build at one specific posting: the language translated to what that posting uses, plus 25 interview questions for that role, with up to 10 targeted builds in 90 days. If you have a specific unit posting open in another tab, the AR Pass is the one.
Can I buy from any state?
Almost. Right now we can't sell our paid resume service to residents of New Jersey or Illinois. Those two states have laws written for job-placement agencies that can also reach paid resume help, and we're staying on the safe side until that's settled. The free format check and the demo work everywhere in the United States, and if you're in one of those states we'll tell you the day this changes.
