I'm Bonnie Meadows, a BoardCertified Nurse.
Clinical Nurse Specialist,Influential Leader, Career
Coach, and Well Being Coach.
Being in the nursing andhealthcare profession since
(02:34):
2004, I have felt stuck andunsure about what was next for
me.
I wanted to be fulfilled in mypurpose, to have a voice at the
table.
And to be a resource for others,I kept telling myself I wanted
more, but didn't have thedirection I needed until I found

Simple tactical steps that allowyou to gain the clarity you
need, solutions for how to groweven without supportive
leadership, and guidelines forsetting boundaries at work so
that you can grow purposefullyin your career as a nurse with a
(03:15):
graduate degree who makes a hugeimpact in the profession.
So get ready to trade yourscrubs for yoga pants.
Pop in those earbuds and let'schat.
I've done my fair share of peerinterviews.
Not necessarily managerialinterviews, mainly peer
(03:36):
interviews for differentpositions.
I've done a lot of coaching toeither prep for an interview,
like someone who has alreadygotten the call or either I am
helping them to prepare theirresume.
So that they can get more callsfor jobs.
(03:57):
Because what you want to do ismake it easier.
You want to make your resumespeak for you.
And yes, people will see what'son your resume and have more
questions, but it'd be nice ifthey had your resume.
And they saw some of youraccomplishments and then.
That would allow them to askquestions.
(04:20):
To say, tell me a little bitmore about this now you're
operating in a space of, okay.
Now I can talk about how Ishine.
And I can go a little bitdeeper.
Versus giving way more contextor, um, having them to dig, to
pull information.
And no, you don't wanteverything on your resume, but
(04:43):
in this episode, I want toexplain differences between
resumes, CVS, and portfolios.
And then provide high-levelresume tips.
Specific to experienced nurses.
As you work to advance throughyour career, This can be useful.
(05:03):
When you are.
Pursuing a graduate degreebecause of course they're going
to want to see your resume orCV.
If you, um, have that dependingon what you've done, because you
can have a bachelor's degree andhave a CV.
And I will tell you how.
It will also prepare you as anurse who has a master's degree
(05:23):
or a doctorate degree.
Really help to advance yourcareer.
And to make resumes and CVSstand out.
To be able to get those calls.
For interviews.
That's usually the biggestblock.
Like I'm not even getting a callfor an interview.
Outside of networking that youdo, it's twofold.
(05:46):
You need the resume and you needthe networking.
The networking can work for you.
But if you're trying to stepinto a whole new industry and
you don't really know a lot ofpeople in that area, that
industry, that hospital,whatever the case may be.
The now you are relying on yourresume to speak for you and you
want it to do the heavy lift foryou.
(06:08):
So you can get that call for theinterview that way you can go
into more detail about the workyou have accomplished.
To show how you can contribute.
To that particular environmentand add value so let's get into
it.
Let's start with the resume.
Clear definition.
(06:29):
A concise document.
Summarizing work experienceskills and education.
Some of us.
Also have on there.
Our certifications.
We have.
Our, associations.
They have our volunteer work onresumes.
Those things that you can add onthere.
But it's most often use for jobapplications in clinical
(06:54):
settings, of course managementroles and leadership positions.
The length of the resume is theshortest of all three of these.
It should be no more than twopages if your resume and.
Really, they would like one.
Most people would like one,however we know.
If you've been in nursing forover 10 years.
(07:16):
I'd say over 15.
It's hard to keep your resumedown to one page.
So two pages max, because I knowfor me, it's hard to keep my
resume to.
One page.
Next is your CV.
It's a detailed document thatincludes your full academic
background, publications,research and teaching
(07:39):
experiences.
On your CV is where you want tolist all of the presentations
that you've done.
All of the posts, all of the.
Education workshops that you'vedone.
From presentations, I mean,poster presentations.
Podium presentations, for oureducation.
Or teaching experiences youmight want to put all of the
(08:02):
classes that you've taught,regardless of whether you were
an educator or not.
Some of us, we were notnecessarily an educator roles,
but we had an area that, or a,We had an area that we
championed or we had differentskills.
Devices that we were a clinicalchampion for.
(08:24):
Those times you didpresentations, it could have
been, teaching about aparticular skill.
So those are the things that youneed to put on a CV.
That's where that whole academicexperience comes in.
Also any publications thatyou've done, whether it be a
blog, not like a regular blog,like.
(08:44):
AACN they do a lot of blogwritings.
They allow nurses to write blogsfor AACN.
The content has to be good.
If it's from a reputable nursingassociation, Whatever is on
their web website as a blog.
That's, that's a writing, that'sa publication that you have, or
(09:04):
an editorial to a journal.
Those types of writings you canadd to your resume, any type of
publication writing researchyou've done.
Even projects that may not yetbe disseminated, but you've
gotten results with thoseprojects.
You can add those to a CV.
And then of course, awardsassociations membership, board
(09:28):
leadership.
Volunteer work it's mostcommonly used when you are.
In an academic setting.
So you are looking to pursue.
A role in academia, in nursing,a nursing faculty role.
That's where it's most commonlyused.
Can be most commonly used evenin the clinical setting, but for
(09:48):
higher level, advanced jobs innursing.
In this day and age, they wantto see that the leadership is
engaged and professionaldevelopment and presenting.
And so.
CV is very important for thoseroles.
If you're pursuing a nursescientist role or I'm sure like
a nurse ethicists role.
And those type of researchroles, CV is very important they
(10:12):
want to see how you've engagedin research even if you have a
PhD, I'm pretty sure that evenwith that.
Your best, you're better off tohave a CV.
PhD DNP when you're going intothose doctorate prepared roles
and you're applying for thoseroles and yes, those roles are
popping up more and more.
(10:34):
Or if you're going into anadvanced practice role like a
director it's more of a leadrole versus a, you're always in
clinical, but you're more sopreparing for an advanced
practice leadership role.
Then a CV is good because theywant to know how you as a leader
are going to help to advance.
(10:55):
The APRN.
They are putting you there,putting under you.
They're they're asking you toleave.
And also when you are.
When you are applying forfellowships and doctoral
programs.
CV is especially useful.
The length of the CV can be verylong.
I've seen one, that was about 10pages these persons had several,
(11:19):
documents, manuscripts that theywere either a part of the
research, or they were ourbrighter of the research.
So it can be pretty much, it canbe multiple pages depending on
the depth of your careerhistory.
And that's why a lot of nurses,use a CV, I've done
presentations.
(11:40):
And Now have some publicationsunder my belt, because my career
history is lengthy.
There are a lot of things that Ihave accomplished.
And presentations that I'vedone.
I use a CV.
And it's not a plethora ofthings.
But they're starting to buildup.
That is what I use instead of aresume.
(12:03):
Portfolio.
We don't use this word much.
In our areas of nursing, but anursing portfolio.
Can be a game changer for you inthe interview process.
It's not necessarily somethingthat you need to use.
I head of time.
(12:23):
Like you don't need to submit aportfolio unless they ask for
it, when you are submitting forthe actual job, you go ahead and
submit a cover letter and thenyour resume and or CV.
The portfolio.
Is what changes the game whenyou get in the interview?
Because the portfolio.
Shows that person you'reinterviewing with the actual
(12:46):
work you did.
Some of us we have with, when wedo a poster presentation, we'll
have the paper version of thatposter, presentation to hand out
to others.
That's what you would put in aportfolio.
Or you have manuscripts thatyou've written.
That's what you would put in aportfolio.
It's a collection showcasingskills, accomplishments, and
(13:07):
professional growth.
Use it in interviews todemonstrate clinical
competencies, project work andleadership outcomes.
Examples, of projects casestudies, certifications letters
of recommendation and personalstatements any education that
you've taught.
Again, like I said, projects, sothat pretty much just sums up
(13:30):
what you should include in aportfolio.
To me, it's something that helpsyou to stand out, especially if
the leader says, oh, that we've,we've got a lot of applicants we
need to get through dah, dah,dah.
Or we have a lot of applicants.
We need to get through a lot ofinterviews.
We need to do.
Then maybe when sending a thankyou letter after you've done the
interview.
You've gotten the call.
(13:50):
You have gone on the interviewor either before the interview.
You can say, and you, you know,you have received information
from an interview panel orinformation about who's going to
be on the interview panel.
Have your portfolio ready tosend out to that group.
It's important to know when tosend out a resume versus a
(14:13):
portfolio.
Versus a CV, especially whenyou're transitioning from the
bedside.
To an advanced practice roleacademia or leadership.
I usually keep a OneNotedocument.
Like for my role when I was aCNS.
We helped to level each other upand decided to do a portfolio
(14:33):
every year for our competency.
We were the competency givers.
We were the validators.
So it was just kinda like, well,what w what do we do for our
competency?
And, there was a small group ofus who just decided, oh, well,
we'll just do a portfolio forour, yearly.
Accomplishments.
So if you are someone who has amaster's degree, or a doctorate
(14:53):
degree and.
You're trying to figure out away to, Show your
accomplishments on a yearlybasis.
A one note or Evernote is agreat way to do that.
Especially if you have Microsoftoffice tools, one note is a
great way to just capture.
All of that information in oneplace.
(15:14):
And.
Share it with your leadership.
I'll try to figure out how to dothat with Google suite.
I'm pretty sure Google hassomething you can use.
And of course, the resume, canbe used for any.
Job, unless the job has askedfor a CV.
Usually a job is asking for aresume or a CV.
(15:37):
Don't go low when they haveasked you to go high.
A CV is higher than a resume.
They're not the same.
Resume as a way more concise.
And it is like tailor fit to thejob that you are applying for.
As CV allows more room for yourcareer history.
So it doesn't have to be conciseand it doesn't necessarily have
(16:00):
to be tailored.
To the actual job that you arelooking for.
You can tweak it.
I would advise you to tweak it,honestly.
But.
It is more robust.
All right.
So today we broke down thedifference between the resume,
CV and the portfolio.
And talked about just someimportant tips on how to tailor
(16:23):
your resume.
As you work towards growing yournursing career.
However, you can speak foryourself.
Make sure that this is Work ofyour career growth and that you
are applying networking to this.
You're talking to people, havingconversations.
With people in those areas.
(16:44):
You're also looking into thoseprofessional organizations,
those governing bodies.
Of that particular work in whichyou want to go if you need help
with that, I can help you findthose people too.
And if you want to get feedbackon your resume to prepare for
those positions, you might beinterested in.

You want to make sure that youare reflecting your hard work?
And your accomplishments it canbe hard to talk about ourselves.
(17:27):
But let the paper do the talkingfor you, even if an elevator
pitch is hard, um, networkingwith others is hard many times
when you start to write thesethings out.
That has confidence builder.
So you've got to stay on top ofwriting these things out and
keeping them front of mind ofwhat you've accomplished.
So that you can easily speak tothose things in the right

You can say, and you, you know,you have received information
from an interview panel orinformation about who's going to
be on the interview panel.
Have your portfolio ready tosend out to that group.
It's important to know when tosend out a resume versus a
(14:13):
portfolio.
Versus a CV, especially whenyou're transitioning from the
bedside.
To an advanced practice roleacademia or leadership.
I usually keep a OneNotedocument.
Like for my role when I was aCNS.
We helped to level each other upand decided to do a portfolio
(14:33):
every year for our competency.
We were the competency givers.
We were the validators.
So it was just kinda like, well,what w what do we do for our
competency?
And, there was a small group ofus who just decided, oh, well,
we'll just do a portfolio forour, yearly.
Accomplishments.
So if you are someone who has amaster's degree, or a doctorate
(14:53):
degree and.
You're trying to figure out away to, Show your
accomplishments on a yearlybasis.
A one note or Evernote is agreat way to do that.
Especially if you have Microsoftoffice tools, one note is a
great way to just capture.
All of that information in oneplace.
(15:14):
And.
Share it with your leadership.
I'll try to figure out how to dothat with Google suite.
I'm pretty sure Google hassomething you can use.
And of course, the resume, canbe used for any.
Job, unless the job has askedfor a CV.
Usually a job is asking for aresume or a CV.
(15:37):
Don't go low when they haveasked you to go high.
A CV is higher than a resume.
They're not the same.
Resume as a way more concise.
And it is like tailor fit to thejob that you are applying for.
As CV allows more room for yourcareer history.
So it doesn't have to be conciseand it doesn't necessarily have
(16:00):
to be tailored.
To the actual job that you arelooking for.
You can tweak it.
I would advise you to tweak it,honestly.
But.
It is more robust.
All right.
So today we broke down thedifference between the resume,
CV and the portfolio.
And talked about just someimportant tips on how to tailor
(16:23):
your resume.
As you work towards growing yournursing career.
However, you can speak foryourself.
Make sure that this is Work ofyour career growth and that you
are applying networking to this.
You're talking to people, havingconversations.
With people in those areas.
(16:44):
You're also looking into thoseprofessional organizations,
those governing bodies.
Of that particular work in whichyou want to go if you need help
with that, I can help you findthose people too.
And if you want to get feedbackon your resume to prepare for
those positions, you might beinterested in.
Be sure to sign up for myambitious nurse insider's list,

next level.
And.
If needed prepare you for yournext interview.
You want to make sure that youare reflecting your hard work?
And your accomplishments it canbe hard to talk about ourselves.
(17:27):
But let the paper do the talkingfor you, even if an elevator
pitch is hard, um, networkingwith others is hard many times
when you start to write thesethings out.
That has confidence builder.
So you've got to stay on top ofwriting these things out and
keeping them front of mind ofwhat you've accomplished.
