NURSING CV

Nursing is a complex career that requires a good mix of hard and soft skills and it is a very rewarding profession.

To be a successful nurse, you need to show that you have adequate medical knowledge to be able to perform certain medical procedures, such as vaccinations and drawing blood from patients.

Documenting patient records and being tech-savvy are just as important, and so is keeping up to date the records of patients and regularly updating the clinic or hospital database.

All nurses and health practitioners are expected to have good soft skills. Some of the soft skills you will need to show on your CV include being patient and empathetic towards patients and patients’ families. You need to show strong interpersonal skills, both listening and communication skills to be able to convey important information to patients and their families and also in your daily interaction with doctors and other nurses in the team.

So what are the soft skills you need to show on your nursing CV.

1. Communication Skills
   
   You will definitely need to demonstrate that you are able to transmit information to the medical team and educating patients.
   

2. Thinking Skills
   

   You need to be able to act promptly and respond correctly in emergency situations. Critical thinking skills are therefore very important to highlight on your nursing CV.
   

3. Showing kindness
   
   You need to demonstrate that you can show compassionate care. Being kind and considerate to even a patient who is misbehaving is critical in nursing.
   

4. Observational Skills
   
   Small subtle changes could be very important so you will need to show attention to detail when picking things up from casual conversations with patients or when information is shared with the patient.
