Create CVAn ATS resume for entry level nurse is evaluated under a licensure-validation and clinical-readiness model. Unlike experienced RN profiles, screening systems focus on credential confirmation, clinical rotation exposure, and immediate employability within hospital units.
For entry level nurse searches, ATS platforms prioritize:
•Active Registered Nurse (RN) license with state reference
• NCLEX-RN completion status
• Clinical rotation specialties
• BLS certification
• Electronic Health Record familiarity
• Patient care competencies
• Preceptorship participation
• Capstone or practicum alignment
If the resume lacks explicit licensure status or fails to convert clinical rotations into measurable experience language, it is often deprioritized.
Entry level nurse resumes are not judged on years of employment but on rotation specificity and scope clarity. ATS systems parse rotation descriptions as functional experience.
High-value rotation phrasing includes:
•Completed 180 clinical hours in Medical-Surgical unit managing 4–5 patients per shift
• Performed medication administration under RN supervision in 32-bed acute care facility
• Assisted in telemetry monitoring and patient assessment documentation in Epic
Low-value phrasing includes:
•Completed nursing school clinicals
• Assisted nurses with patient care
• Observed procedures
The difference lies in patient load, documentation systems, and clinical actions.
For entry level nurse screening, RN licensure confirmation is non-negotiable. ATS filters may exclude candidates who do not clearly state:
•Registered Nurse (RN)
• State licensure
• “Active” or “Pending” status
• NCLEX-RN completion
If the resume ambiguously states “Nursing Graduate,” it may not pass RN-specific keyword filters even if the candidate is licensed.
Entry level nurses often omit metrics because they assume rotations are academic. However, ATS systems respond positively to measurable scope such as:
•Number of clinical hours
• Patient load per shift
• Unit bed capacity
• Medication accuracy compliance
• Patient education participation
Without these indicators, the resume may appear observational rather than practice-ready.
Clinical Experience
Medical-Surgical Clinical Rotation
•Completed 200 clinical hours in 40-bed acute care unit managing 4 patients per shift
• Administered oral and IV medications under supervision maintaining 100% documentation accuracy in Epic
• Performed patient assessments and developed care plans aligned with hospital protocols
• Assisted in discharge planning improving patient education comprehension rates
• Participated in infection control initiatives ensuring compliance with HIPAA standards
Why this passes:
•Clinical hours specified
• Patient load quantified
• EHR system named
• Compliance terminology included
• Action-oriented phrasing
Nursing Student
•Completed clinical rotations
• Assisted with patient care
• Observed procedures
• Learned about medications
• Helped nurses as needed
Why this fails:
•No measurable scope
• No patient load
• No EHR mention
• No licensure alignment
• Language suggests passive participation
The weak version lacks operational readiness signals required for RN screening.
Hospitals frequently filter by EHR familiarity. Even at entry level, mention of systems such as:
•Epic
• Cerner
• Meditech
in a clinical context increases ranking strength. Simply listing EHR names without usage context has minimal impact.
