If the clinical experience section makes your resume more than two pages in length, leave it out. Another optional section lists presentations, including inservices, workshops, case studies, or other continuing education offerings you have given at work or in the community. You may also include poster presentations that you have contributed to professional forums. Honors and awards can also be recorded in a separate section, if they are relevant to the position you are seeking and academic in nature. 2 Be sure to cite the year in which the award was granted with its title and the awarding organization.
Some nurses insert a licensing section.
A final option is a references section. More specific reference information can be provided to the recruiter during the interview. Your resume must be carefully designed to convey a professional image. Use heavy bond paper in neutral tones or pastel colors. If possible, have the envelope match the paper.
