What this example does well
- NMC registration is stated up front, because nothing else on the CV matters without it.
- Ward types, patient numbers and responsibilities are concrete: what kind of patients, how many, what the nurse was trusted with.
- Clinical skills and training are listed with dates where they expire, as they would be checked.
- The plain Minimal layout, because many healthcare employers screen applications through online systems.
The person and employers in this example are fictional. Shown in the Minimal template; you can switch templates at any time.
