Turkeygirl Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 All I can say is ugh! I'm updating mine so that I can send it out...I don't really hate doing this stuff but it is a pain...and trying to gear it to be nursing related...ugh. Is there anyone on here really good with them that maybe I can email mine when I'm done with it, and you can read it and let me know what you think?

GWSmith Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm sure my Wife would'nt mind looking at it for you. You may want to start calling it a CV too since you have a professional license;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 What's a CV? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have had the same job for 13 years and hired on right out of school, so decidedly not a resume guru. My wife just landed a new gig, though. She did well enough on the resume for that, but she had an inside man, too.. cv=curriculum vitae HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinch314 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Curriculum Vitae Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV)? What's the difference between a resume and a CV? The primary differences are the length, the content and the purpose. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. A goal of resume writing is to be brief and concise since, at best, the resume reader will spend a minute or so reviewing your qualifications. A Curriculum Vitae, commonly referred to as CV, is a longer (two or more pages), more detailed synopsis. It includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. When to Use a CV In the United States a Curriculum Vitae is used primarily when applyingfor international, academic, education, scientific or research positions or when applying for fellowships or grants. As with a resume, you may need different versions of a CV for different type of positions. What to Include in Your CV Like a resume, your CV should include your name, contact information, education, skills and experience. In addition to the basics, a CV includes research and teaching experience, publications, grants and fellowships, professional associations and licenses, awards and other information relevant to the position you are applying for. Start by making a list of all your background information, then organize it into categories. Make sure you include dates on all the publications you include. How to Write a Curriculum Vitae Do you need help writing a curriculum vitae? Before you start, review these tips so you can include the appropriate information in your curriculum vitae (CV) and format your curriculum vitae correctly. Remember, the first impression is the one that matters, so, your CV needs to be perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 We use CV's of doctors and scientists and other expert witnesses to really lay it out to a jury that this person knows their stuff, and should be believed. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 My wife has been an RN for 38 or 39 years and an LPN for 4-5 more before that. She's been a Legal Nurse Consultant for quite a few years now reviewing charts and testifying in a few court cases. Her CV is 14 pages long...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bghunter777 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Basic things are of vital importance tg. 1. Make sure you have a knockout cover letter. WITH NO ERRORS/TYPOS! 2. 1 page resumes are generally the rule not including references. Try to have impressive references. 3. Include something that will make you stand out from the other resumes! A skill or something that you expertise in is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 My wife is a nurse and has never filled out a resume for a hospital job. It's been online/paper applications for her jobs. There are some hospitals she has looked at/is looking at that don't accept resumes, only online applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
