A template for nurses who deliver compassionate, evidence-based care.
Compassionate and skilled Registered Nurse with 4 years of acute care experience in NHS Surgical and Medical wards. Committed to patient-centred care, clinical excellence, and evidence-based practice.
Nursing CVs must demonstrate clinical competence, patient advocacy, and professional development. Recruiters want to see your registration status (NMC, NPI), ward type and patient load, specific clinical skills (IV cannulation, wound care, medication rounds), and evidence of continuing professional development. If you precepted new nurses or led quality improvement projects, those show leadership potential beyond bedside care.
Patient assessment, medication administration, wound care, IV therapy, electronic health records (EPIC, SystemOne), team leadership, patient education, infection control, advanced life support (ALS/BLS), and safeguarding. Include your NMC PIN number and any specialist certifications.
Nursing CVs often focus on duties rather than achievements. "Administered medications" is a duty — every nurse does that. "Maintained 100% compliance on drug round audits across 3 years" is an achievement. Also include quality metrics: falls reduction, infection rates, patient satisfaction scores. These show you care about outcomes, not just tasks.
Keep your CV to two pages. Put your NMC registration and key certifications near the top. Use a clean, professional template — avoid creative designs for clinical roles. Include a "Certifications" section separate from Education to highlight your continued professional development.
