How to list your credentials
Lead with your CNA certification and the state registry where it is active. Put BLS or CPR right after it and include the expiration date.
Resume tips for certified nursing assistants
- Put your certification and state registry status at the top. Facilities have to verify it, so make it easy to find.
- Give your assignment size. 'Cared for 14 residents per shift' tells a manager more than a long list of duties.
- Name the setting. Hospital floors and memory care run very differently, and managers hire for their floor.
- List equipment you have used, like Hoyer lifts or sit-to-stand lifts. It cuts training time and managers know it.
- Keep it to one page. Recruiters skim, so your cert and your last two jobs should be the first things they see.
