Include your NCLEX-PN license number, issuing state, and expiration date at the top of your resume. If you hold licenses in multiple states or a compact state license, list them all. Recruiters confirm licensure before scheduling interviews, so making this easy saves time and signals professionalism.

LPN duties vary by state and setting. Be precise about what you independently performed versus what you did under RN supervision. Listing 'administered IV push medications under RN delegation in California' is far more compelling—and legally accurate—than a generic 'IV therapy' claim.

Numbers make your LPN resume memorable. Include patient-to-nurse ratios, medication error rates, wound healing timelines, or patient satisfaction scores. Even small metrics like '100% same-shift charting completion' demonstrate reliability and efficiency that hiring managers value.
