FAQ — Registered Nurse resumes

Where do licenses go on a nursing resume?

Right under your name and contact, or in a dedicated 'Licenses & Certifications' section near the top. Hiring managers look for them first.

Should I list every clinical rotation?

Only if you're a recent grad. After your first RN role, full-time experience replaces clinicals.

Is a one-page nursing resume enough?

Yes for newer nurses. With 7+ years across multiple settings, two pages are fine — hospital recruiters expect detail.
