Healthcare & Nursing Resume — Two-Column Template
Healthcare resumes prioritise licences, certifications, and patient care statistics above all else. Specialisations, unit types, patient-to-nurse ratios, and facility size give recruiters the clinical context they need. The Two-Column layout places credentials, skills, and contact details in a sidebar, freeing the main column for your experience. It looks more polished than single-column — but some ATS systems struggle with multi-column parsing.
Why the Two-Column layout works for healthcare & nursing roles
check_circleDirect recruiter outreach (not through ATS portals)
check_circleCreative and design roles where visual polish is valued
check_circleStartup and SME applications reviewed by humans first
check_circleNetworking introductions and portfolio supplements
Not ATS-safe. Use as PDF for direct outreach only — do not submit through job boards with ATS parsers.
