Licensed Practical Nurse resume example

A strong licensed practical nurse summary reads like this. Swap in your own numbers and settings:

Licensed Practical Nurse with six years in long-term care and skilled nursing. I run the med pass for a 30-resident unit and handle wound care and treatments. I chart in PointClickCare and supervise the CNAs on my hall. Current LPN license in good standing, IV certified.

Skills recruiters search for

These are the terms recruiters and ATS filters look for on a licensed practical nurse resume. Use the ones that are true for you:

Medication administrationWound careVital signs monitoringPointClickCareLong-term careSkilled nursing facility (SNF)IV therapyPatient assessmentCharting and documentationCNA supervisionInfection controlCare plan updatesCatheter careHIPAA compliance

How to list your credentials

Put your LPN or LVN license first with the state and status, like LPN, Florida, active. List certifications such as IV therapy and BLS after it, each with its expiration date.

Resume tips for licensed practical nurses

  • Put your license type and state at the top, right under your name. Recruiters filter by state first and will not dig for it.
  • Name your setting. LTC, SNF, clinic, and home health are different jobs, and hiring managers look for theirs.
  • Quantify the med pass. 'Med pass for 30 residents per shift' beats 'administered medications.'
  • List the charting system you know. PointClickCare or MatrixCare on the page gets you past keyword screens.
  • If you are IV certified, say so near the top. It is one of the first things recruiters search for on LPN resumes.

How matching works

  1. 1
    Upload

  2. 2
    Pick public or private
