Nursing jobs are bountiful in some areas, but can be harder to find in others.  In either case, applicants are looking for any edge during the hiring process.  And the type of resume you use for nursing jobs may just make the difference in getting an interview.

Let’s start with the types.  Most people use a chronological resume, which presents your experience job by job, starting from your most recent position and working your way back.  These resumes tend to work best for nurses and healthcare professionals who have worked in the field their entire lives, and have a few years of experience.  But what if you’re looking for nursing jobs and that doesn’t describe your background?  There’s another option.
