Nurse practitioner resume template

Catalyst starts with experience and prints no summary, so a clinical director reaches your visit volume, panel and scope at once. Its teal headings over full-width rules separate the NP post from the earlier RN job, and because certifications print near the end, the headline carries "FNP-BC, APRN".

Second choice: Leslie. Leslie keeps a summary and prints experience before skills; choose it as a new NP who needs two lines on rotations and the RN background.

Catalyst template details and test results

Catalyst prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Work Experience. Lead the NP job with setting, population and volume ("family practice, about 22 patients a day, newborn to geriatric"), then conditions you manage, procedures you perform and one quality result. Keep the RN job to the bullets that matter for the new post: triage, acute assessment, precepting.
2. Skills. Clinical work in the first row (chronic disease management, preventive visits, procedures such as incision and drainage or joint injections), then the EHR and point-of-care tools. Catalyst prints these as labelled rows.
3. Education. MSN or DNP with the NP population focus and year, then the BSN. A detail line with supervised clinical hours helps in the first year or two after graduating.
4. Certifications. Board certification with its exact letters and certifying body, then state APRN and RN licenses, then BLS and ACLS (PALS if you see children in urgent care). ANCC's FNP-BC is valid for five years and AANPCB certifications renew every five years, so add expiry dates.
5. Precepting and committees. "Precepting and committees" shows work beyond your own schedule: NP students you precept, quality or protocol committees, a clinic workflow you own.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.

• Leaving out the state of licensure, so a clinic cannot tell whether you can start there now.

We exported this sample with Resumity's PDF exporter in Chrome on 2026-10-29 and read the file back with three open-source text extractors. This shows whether software that turns a PDF into text can recover it; it is not a test of any commercial applicant tracking system. How we test templates.
