Is Imogen Bracewell a real nurse

No. She is invented for this page, and so are Fallowgate General Hospital, Ardenshaw Community Hospital and Marlpit Court Care Home. Every figure below was written to show a shape. We publish no real person's document.

Why are the wards and caseloads in the lines

Because they are the evidence a nurse actually has. A ward size, a caseload, a shift count and an error rate are all measurable, and the checker's evidence rule counts patients, beds, shifts and staff as units it can read.

Does registration belong on a nurse's résumé

Yes, and near the top of the reader's attention rather than at the bottom of a list of hobbies. The example carries it as a certification with a year, which is the form the reader stores it in.

What did the checker score it

99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 2 points short and achievement quality 1 point short. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% for parseability + 100 × 30% for completeness + 97 × 40% for content, on 441 readable words. The writing check beside it scored 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied. It is a readability and evidence measurement, and it is not an employer's applicant tracking system.

Should a nurse use a two-column layout

A single column survives extraction; a two-column layout is the most common reason a parser loses half a résumé. The example is rendered in Bridge, one of the eight layouts in the ATS family and one of the 24 designs marked ATS-safe out of 37.

Can I copy this example

Copy the structure, not the sentences. Three dated roles, five verb-first lines under each, a number where a number honestly exists, registration with a year. The claims have to be yours or the document is worth nothing at an interview.

What a nurse's résumé has to carry that others do not

Three things sit above everything else: the setting, the caseload and the registration. A ward manager reading this page wants to know where you have worked (acute medical, rehabilitation, a dementia unit), how much you carried while you were there, and that you are registered to practise. The example answers all three in the first eight lines, which is as far as most readers get before deciding whether to keep reading.

The setting is in the role line, beside the employer. The caseload is in the achievement lines, as a figure. The registration is a certification with a year on it. None of that is decoration: a nurse with eleven years of experience and no visible registration reads as a nurse who forgot, and software that stores certifications as a section will store an empty one.

The lines that carry the weight

Fifteen achievement lines, five under each of three dated roles, every one beginning with a verb and every one carrying a figure the engine can read. Clinical work is unusually easy to measure and unusually often written without measurement. "Responsible for patient care" and "carried a caseload of 8 rehabilitation patients a shift, of whom 3 sat on complex discharge plans" describe the same shift, and only one of them tells a ward manager what to expect from you on a Tuesday.

The units in this example are beds, patients, shifts, staff and quarters, and the checker's evidence rule counts every one of them. That matters for a profession whose numbers are rarely money and rarely percentages. A 28-bed ward, 22 residents, 14 preceptees and 3 shifts a day are all readable evidence, and they are all things a nurse can say without exaggerating.

The healthcare assistant role is kept. Early care work is where a lot of nurses learn the floor, and it earns the same five lines as the posts above it because each of those five carries a count a ward manager can picture: 22 residents, 40 call bells a shift, 5 assistants trained.

Skills for a nurse résumé, grouped

Imogen's skills group into clinical, communication and development. Clinical: acute medical nursing, NEWS2 escalation, medication administration, IV cannulation, wound care, care planning. Communication and records: SBAR handover, electronic patient records, safeguarding. Development: clinical mentoring. A ward manager reads the clinical group first and the mentoring item as the seniority signal.

Community, theatre and mental health nurses group around their own settings. Name and order the groups yourself in the free résumé builder, or keep one list.

From healthcare assistant to senior staff nurse

A healthcare assistant's résumé proves care on the floor: residents supported, observations taken, call bells answered. Imogen's care home role starts there. A staff nurse adds caseload, setting and registration.

A senior staff nurse adds the shift and other people: shifts coordinated, students and preceptees mentored, a practice change introduced. Keep registration visible with its year. The certifications guide covers professional registration.

How it reads and scores

The import review reads 3 roles, 1 degree, 2 languages and 10 skills before anything reaches the editor. The ATS checker scored it 99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 2 points short and achievement quality 1 point short. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied here, and the five it did not award are one check: bullet tense. The same check runs on every example; the method is described here.

What to change for your own

Swap the setting first. A theatre nurse, a district nurse and a paediatric nurse have the same shape and completely different nouns, and the nouns are what a ward manager scans for. Then put your real figures in: bed numbers, caseloads, audit results, the training you delivered. Where a number genuinely does not exist, say what changed instead, as the discharge liaison line does.

Keep the registration line even if you are applying inside the trust that registered you. Keep the languages if you have them, because wards with a mixed population read that line with interest. The design gallery holds 37 layouts and the words do not change when the paper does, so the structure above is the part worth borrowing. A project manager example and a teacher example show the same shape carrying different evidence.
