![]() It’s no secret that 21st-century healthcare is a moving target. In response, I’ll say that even if you’re comfortable in the same position you’ve had for years and think this doesn’t apply to you, my message is this: the need to have an updated resume always applies to everyone. “But wait,” you say, “I have a great job, and I don’t expect to go anywhere until I retire!” Who needs that kind of unnecessary stress? But I’m Not Going Anywhere The bottom line is that you don’t want to stay up until 3 a.m., worried and exhausted, rewriting your resume from scratch because a deadline for an application snuck up on you and is due tomorrow morning. Whether you’re a new nurse, a nurse with several years of experience, or a seasoned nursing professional with several decades under your belt, you must always have a resume that’s free of dust and ready to use, perhaps with a quick tweak or two. After all, if an incredible opportunity comes, will that resume antique do the trick? Probably not. If you’re one of those nurses whose resume is gathering dust in the attic of your life, there’s no time like the present to find that relic of a document and expose it to the light of day. But remember: before you try mouth-to-mouth on that decrepit old resume, remove the cobwebs first. If you haven’t checked your resume for more than a year - or you don’t even know where you have a copy, digital or otherwise - then some resume resuscitation is needed ASAP. That stress is entirely avoidable if they only look over their resume once a year. But no matter how important it might be, many unprepared nurses only dig out their resumes in a panic when they hear about a fabulous job, fellowship, grant, or other opportunity, and the deadline to apply is the next day. In a complex, evolving, and often competitive job market, having an up-to-date resume ready to go at all times is simply smart.
