Registered Nurse CV Template
Registered nurses (IDE in France) work across very different settings — public hospitals, private clinics, nursing homes, private practice, locum — with cadre-specific expectations. The CV signals that matter most: specialty (ER, OR, paediatrics, geriatrics, OR/anaesthesia nurse), services rotated through, and protocols mastered (CPR, palliative care, dialysis). The RPPS number and DE graduation date should appear at the top. Continuing education (DPC) is a selective criterion at hospitals. In private practice, numbers matter too: patients followed, kilometres driven, coordinated-care share. Locum nurses benefit from listing the hospitals/sites covered (versatility signal).
