A useful starting point
Lead with NMC registration status, setting, and a clinical proof with caseload. Two pages. Skip a photo. Skip this if you are not a registered nurse — use HCA or student examples. A CV will not replace a PIN.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
Evidence to consider
- NMC PIN status (on request is fine)
- Band and setting
- Revalidation dates if useful
- Clinical skills the advert names
- DBS if asked
