New Grad Nurse Resume Template + Career Command Center

The whole job search — not just a resume.

Enter your details once. The dashboard does the rest.

• THE FEATURE NURSES CAN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE
• Hospital Comparison Dashboard — score every employer 1–10 on the 13 things that actually matter (pay, shift differential, nurse-to-patient ratios, PTO, insurance, retirement match, tuition, scheduling, commute, culture and more). Set your own weights and it calculates your best-fit hospital automatically. Compare multiple job offers side by side before you accept your first nursing job. This alone is worth the price.
• YOUR EDITABLE RESUME KIT (included — Word + Google Docs)

Capture the "resume template" search AND deliver ten times more value:

• ATS-Friendly Resume — single-column, built to pass hospital applicant tracking systems
• Styled Resume — a designed version for recruiters, career fairs and email
• Matching Cover Letter, References Page, Thank-You Letter
• Follow-Up Email Templates (application follow-up, status check, accept & decline)
• Letter of Interest & Resignation Letter
• A Resume Writing & ATS Guide with nursing keywords and power verbs

All pre-filled with new-grad RN examples — just replace the bracketed text.

• A CAREER DASHBOARD THAT UPDATES ITSELF

Open Career HQ and your whole search is there: applications sent, interviews, offers, response rate, follow-ups due, residency deadlines, certs expiring and your best-fit hospital — all pulled from your own tabs. You don't build it. It builds itself.

• EVERYTHING ELSE, ORGANIZED INTO 7 SECTIONS (38 tabs)
• JOB SEARCH — application tracker, interview tracker, interview debrief, recruiter outreach, networking, career goals
• INTERVIEW PREP — 13 common questions with prompts, STAR worksheet, strengths & weaknesses, salary negotiation planner + script, offer comparison
• PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT — certifications & license tracker (auto expiry status), CEU tracker, skills checklist, nursing skills inventory, memberships
• FINANCIAL — salary calculator, benefits / PTO / retirement comparisons, sign-on bonus tracker
• EMPLOYMENT — the Hospital Comparison Dashboard, orientation checklist, new-job planner, shift schedule, probation tracker
• ONLINE PRESENCE — LinkedIn profile guide, portfolio checklist, professional bio & elevator pitch
• NEW GRAD EXTRAS — clinical rotations log, residency tracker, residency program comparison, first-year milestones
• BUILT FOR NEW GRADS

Residency deadlines, clinical rotations, a skills inventory for building your resume, and a first-year roadmap — this isn't a generic nurse planner. It's made for exactly where you are.

You type in the teal cells. The black numbers calculate themselves. Nothing is locked.
