New Graduate Nurse Resume Example

• 2,300 placement hours across medical, surgical and community settings show breadth before the first job.
• Passing the ward's medicine check on the first attempt is a plain safety signal that a ward manager can understand.
• Cutting missed fluid charts from six a week to one is a small improvement, stated modestly, which shows initiative without overclaiming.
• The care assistant years show steady work, 15 residents supported and early patient contact before qualifying.

1. Put your placement hours and the settings in the summary, since depth of placement is your strongest evidence at this stage.
2. State the ward, the bed count and the patients you care for per shift, so the reader can see the scale of your first role.
3. Name the competence checks you passed on the ward, such as a medicines check, instead of general claims about being a quick learner.
4. Give one small improvement you made, with a number, and keep the claim modest so it reads as honest.
5. Include care assistant or healthcare work you did while studying, because it shows patient contact and reliable attendance.
6. Be honest about the support you receive in your first months, such as a named senior nurse, which shows you know your limits.

Only list what is true for you. A skill you cannot talk about in an interview does not help.
