What Nurse job ads ask for
These terms come up again and again in postings for this role. Recruiters query the database for them literally, so the exact wording matters more than the phrasing around it.
- NMC PIN
- registered nurse
- Band 5
- Agenda for Change
- revalidation
- patient assessment
- medication administration
- ILS
- safeguarding
- NEWS2
- care planning
- mentorship
What goes wrong in this role specifically
- Your NMC PIN must appear as plain text near the top. Recruiters at every NHS trust search for it directly.
- State your Agenda for Change band and speciality — "Band 5, acute medicine" is far more searchable than "hospital nursing".
- Give the date of your last revalidation. It is a standing question and answering it up front removes a step.

Nurse certifications: issuer and renewal period
Checked against each issuing body. Recruiters search for the exact abbreviation, so it belongs in the body text on its own line — never inside a table, sidebar or icon in your own file.

Questions
Will an ATS read my Nurse CV?
It depends entirely on how the file is built, not on how good you are. Tables, two-column layouts, text boxes and contact details inside headers or icons are the usual reasons information goes missing. Upload yours above and you will see exactly what survives.
Which certifications belong on a Nurse CV?
NMC PIN, registered nurse, Band 5 and similar credentials belong in the body text, on their own lines, written out in full the first time. Recruiters search the database for the exact abbreviation.
Should I send a PDF or a Word file?
DOCX is read more reliably across systems. If the posting asks for PDF, export it from a single-column document rather than from a design tool.
