TAG AN NP STUDENT WHO NEEDS THIS!
Do you understand the difference between a résumé and a CV?
Are you stressing because you’re not quite sure how your RN résumé needs to change now that you’re getting ready to apply to NP positions?

I’m answering one of my most common questions in this week’s video (link in bio!)

Quote: Mary Ann Evans (aka George Eliot) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you feel like it's too late?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you feel this way about something, I'm going to challenge you and suggest that there's something else holding you back.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's the real limiting belief here?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you think you can't do it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fear of failure?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you think you've reached your upper limit?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reflect on this today, and throw an emoji in the comments that shows your reaction to this quote. 🤯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here's some honest truth for ya -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been struggling with figuring out where my clinical career fits into my life since having kids.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When the twins were born almost 4 years ago, I kept working full time after my maternity leave...because I had to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was drowning in six figures of student loan debt, and part of how I paid it off was through a loan repayment program that required I work full time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once the loans were paid off, I went half time, started this business, and got pregnant with another baby.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had a lot of life changes in the past year with moving states and birthing that baby. I'm now finally getting ready to go back to clinical work (almost 10 months later...) and I'm scared.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm scared that I will forget how to do my job.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm scared that working per diem won't be enough for me to advance and grow as a clinician.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm scared that I won't like working any more and I'll want to walk away.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm scared that if I leave clinical work and go all in on this business, that I will fail and have nothing to fall back on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm scared that if I do walk away from clinical work, you won't think I'm worthy of teaching you anymore.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, for now, I'll sit with these feelings, journal a bit about them, and remember that above all, THIS smile I'm looking at is one of the most important people in my life whose opinion of me matters.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

DOUBLE TAP IF YOU'RE AFRAID OF THE ATS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's the ATS, you ask? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's the applicant tracking system, which is a computer software that scans your résumé and gives it a matching score for a particular job.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hospitals and third party job boards often use these softwares to pre-screen submitted applications and résumés.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are 4 ways to make your résumé ATS friendly:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Include both acronyms and spelled out names of keywords. For example, if you are ACLS certified, type out Advanced Cardiac Life Support as well, to give you a higher chance of matching against what the ATS has listed for the job.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Include keywords in your resume that you have experience in. Look at the job posting! If they want someone with experience managing and titrating drips, for example, include those skills in your résumé if you have that experience.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Don't use fancy or specific unit names. If you worked on 3-South, leave that off and write out "Oncology Unit" instead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Headings: use common titles. For example, if you're including a section with your awards - title it "Honors & Awards," not "Professional Accolades." The ATS scans for headers and organizes your experience and information according to common header names.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is just a start - for more training on the ATS, check out the Nurse Résumé Bundle or my Weekend Résumé Makeover course, both of which include ATS specific trainings and templates!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Tag a NP student who needs this!

Okay friends, I am stepping outside of my comfort zone to bring you some videos about common problems/questions new grad NPs face!

This video is about how to plan the months before and after graduation!

You’ll learn:
🔹When to start the job search process
🔹The licenses and certs you’ll need before you can start working
🔹And the “order of operations” for applying for all these things!

Plus, I’ve linked a free download to a graduation timeline and credentialing cheat sheet that breaks down all the things you need to know (DEA, NPI, WTF?!) ❗️Follow the link in my bio for the full video ❗️

Another gem from Kendra @motherlikeaboss⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(her quote, my caption)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few days ago I posted a picture of me that was less than perfect.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been reading some self-development books and I've come to the realization that *gulp*...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
...I. Am. A. Perfectionist.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ugh.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Something that I always thought was one of my greatest strengths - I think it may be doing more harm than good.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, I'm not going to dwell on this, but rather do the INNER WORK so that I can achieve the OUTER RESULTS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What outer results are you wanting, and are you willing to do the inner work to get yourself there?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In 2020, I'm doing more of this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is me - unshowered and still in my lounge clothes well into the middle of the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is me - giving in to my 3 year old when she says "mommy - now YOU sit on the baby's blanket!" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(If you can't tell, I'm "posing" on the blanket where I take Grace's monthly photos)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is me - scared to show up for you, this community of nearly 9,000 people (what?!) with a photo that is less than perfect.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is me committing to more fun and less perfection in 2020.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Holding my breath and clicking post....NOW.)

Can we talk for a minute about TRANSFORMATION?

Many of you know that one of my main offerings is résumé advice and templates.
In a short period of time you can take your résumé from bland to WOW.

But, something that I want you to know is that this whole thing...my platform, my heart, the reason why I’m here is so much more than having a gorgeous résumé.
I want you to transform your present self into your future with grace, intention, and confidence.
Because it will be YOU that gets the job, the placement, the admission letter. NOT your résumé.
So yes, while your résumé is an important piece, take some time to make sure you’re not putting your eggs in the proverbial résumé basket.
Double tap if you’re on your way to an incredible personal and professional transformation.
I can’t wait to see where you land.🤩
