Not getting interviews despite applying to nursing jobs? Your resume and cover letter may be the problem.

In this episode of the Life After Nursing School podcast, we break down the most common resume and cover letter mistakes nurses make — mistakes that affect both new graduate nurses and experienced nurses. Drawing from real experience in hospital recruiting and nurse leadership, this episode explains why generic cover letters get overlooked, how unclear resumes cost interviews, and what hiring teams actually look for.

If you’re a nursing student, new grad nurse, or experienced nurse feeling stuck in the job search, this episode will help you understand how to create clear, strategic, and human application documents that open doors.

Resources mentioned, including Application Advantage, are linked in the show notes.
