I'm applying for a job at work. It requires you to be an RN (check!) but is not a normal nursing role. It is more educating others about a particular thing and managing related issues. So... what do I include in my resume? If I was applying for any other clinical role, I'd include all the relevant clinical skills... none of which are relevant to this role as it isn't "clinical". HELP!
If I was applying for the job...... i would focus on, any training/educating that you had done, do you have ANY experience in a similar role - say at ward level?
What are the other relevant skills that you possess? do you need to have done something similar? Do you have any OHS experience at all? I would also suggest that as you are required to be a nurse for the position, nursing skills and qualifications would be relevant too - otherwise why would they want a nurse?
Have you had to manage staff, a difficult situation, done any preceptoring?
Highlight any training you've done of new staff, familiarisation etc. Any interests you have in training / coaching - even if its outside the hospital (eg as a volunteer somewhere). Mention any mentoring that you do ANYWHERE!
you're cheeky SJ! I do have experience at ward level. I think I've already put that in. I know nursing skills are relevant but should I really have "maintain an unconscious airway" in it?
No, maintain an unconscious airway would not really be relevant - but any training that you have attended (other than ward stuff) will demonstrate that you actively seek out learning opportunities IYKWIM
What did you do before where you are now?
Try and focus on what things you have done, rather than just skills.
What about how you mentored that trainee a few months back? I know that turned out pear shaped for reasons out of your control, but you certainly made yourself available to her, helped her along the way.....do you have any other examples of mentoring?
Ce. I have a bottle of bubbly sitting in my fridge for when you're here!!!!!! I am so excited! And everyone on my ward has been very supportive and think I'll be brilliant at the role! Nice to hear that! Even nicer to see their compliance has tripled in the last 2 days!
haha. I don't even have to say anything! We have a SHOCKING compliance for moving trolley's as per hospital protocol. But the last two days they magically began to follow protocol! I didn't have to say a word about protocol! To be honest, I wasn't even paying them attention a lot of the time - too many other things requiring my attention like anesthetics trying to tube a patient, a cranky family, cranky patients... I'm sure they will be back to their old ways when I get back from leave
One of my good friends at work (I call her Aunty, she has been a mentor for me) cried when I told her the news yesterday (she's been away). She said she's happy for me but doesn't want me to leave! She said 1 or 2 days in DPU just isn't enough time with her lol.
I messaged my parents yesterday and told them. Mum is so happy for me! I could almost hear her yelling all the way from England!
