## Frequently Asked Questions

**Should I include my nursing registration number?**
Yes. Include your State Nursing Council registration number and validity. It's a mandatory requirement for all nursing positions.

**What certifications should I highlight?**
BLS (Basic Life Support) is essential. ACLS, PALS, and specialty certifications (critical care, oncology) add significant value.

**How do I show clinical experience?**
Mention department/specialty, patient volume (beds/patients per shift), and outcomes (mortality rates, infection rates, satisfaction scores).

**Is EMR experience important?**
Yes. Mention specific systems: HMIS, eHospital, or any EHR/EMR platforms. Digital documentation skills are increasingly important.

**How many pages should my resume be?**
1 page for freshers and up to 5 years experience. 2 pages maximum for 10+ years. Never exceed 2 pages — recruiters spend 6-7 seconds on initial screening.
