Hospitals screen applications with ATS software before a recruiter sees them. This free builder keeps your nursing résumé single-column and parse-safe, with your license and certifications where recruiters look first.

Start from a nursing sample with patient-care, EHR/Epic and HIPAA phrasing you can edit.
Highlight clinical rotations and education when experience is light.

Questions
Is this nursing résumé ATS-friendly?
Yes. It uses a single-column layout, standard headings, and keeps your name, license and contact details in the body where applicant tracking systems can read them.
I'm a new grad with little experience — will it work?
Yes. Lead with your education, clinical rotations and certifications; the builder lets you reorder sections so your strongest content comes first.
Should I send a Word file or PDF to hospitals?
A text-based .docx is the safest choice for most hospital ATS. You can export both free here.
