What makes this Registered Nurse resume work

List your RN license (and state) and certifications (BLS, ACLS, PALS) near the top with expiry dates.
Name your specialties and units (ICU, ER, Med-Surg) and the EHR you use (Epic, Cerner).
Quantify care: patient load per shift, patient-satisfaction scores, fall/infection-rate reductions.
Use the exact certification acronyms — ATS filters often search for 'BLS', 'ACLS' literally.
Keep clinical language precise; avoid vague 'provided care' without context.
