ATS resume checker for nurses and healthcare workers
Active licenses and certifications like RN, BLS and ACLS decide most clinical screens before anyone reads a bullet. Check your resume against a real posting and see exactly what to fix. Free, no sign-up to start.
What the ATS and recruiters check
- Required license and its state, plus whether it is a compact (multistate) license
- Certifications: BLS, ACLS, PALS, specialty certificates such as CCRN or CEN
- Unit and setting experience: ICU, med-surg, emergency, outpatient, and the EHR used (Epic, Cerner)
Name things the way the posting does
- List the license with type, state and status: "Registered Nurse (RN), Illinois, active"
- Put every certification in a Certifications section with its full name and acronym
- Name the unit, patient ratio and EHR in each role
