As a CNA, your resume is often your first opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to patient care and professional excellence. The CNA Ready Resume Template is designed to help you make a lasting impression, showcasing your skills and experience in a format that resonates with healthcare employers.

Why Choose the CNA Ready Resume Template?

Tailored for healthcare professionals, this isn't just another generic resume template. The CNA Ready template is specifically designed for Certified Nursing Assistants and other healthcare professionals. It includes dedicated sections for:

  • Patient Care Experience
  • Vital Signs Monitoring
  • Patient Safety and Infection Control
  • Communication and Patient Support
  • Teamwork and Collaboration with Healthcare Staff

These targeted resume sections allow you to highlight the specific skills and experiences that matter most in CNA roles.

Blending traditional and modern resume design, this CNA resume template strikes the perfect balance between traditional professionalism and modern aesthetics. This design approach ensures your CNA resume looks appropriate for conservative healthcare settings while still catching the eye of hiring managers.

In today's digital age, many healthcare facilities use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen resumes. The CNA Ready template is optimized for ATS, ensuring your carefully crafted content passes automated screenings and into the hands of human recruiters.

While tailored for CNAs, this resume template is flexible enough to adapt to various healthcare roles. Beyond employment experience as a CNA, customizable sections allow you to showcase:

  • Foreign Language Skills: Highlight your ability to communicate with diverse patient populations.
  • Volunteer Work: Demonstrate your commitment to community health and patient care.
  • Professional Associations: Show your dedication to ongoing professional development.
  • Training, Certifications, and Licensing: Easily list your qualifications, a crucial aspect for healthcare roles.

Writing about your own skills and experiences can be challenging. That's why we've included expert tips and prompts throughout the CNA resume template. These guides help you articulate your strengths effectively, ensuring you don't overlook any important details that could set you apart from other candidates.

Created in Microsoft Word, the CNA Ready template offers unparalleled flexibility. You can easily adjust resume colors, fonts, and sections to match your personal style or the specific requirements of the healthcare facility you're applying to.

Whether you're seeking a position in a hospital, long-term care facility, rehabilitation center, or home health care setting, this template adapts to your needs. Its comprehensive structure ensures you can highlight relevant experiences for any healthcare environment.

The healthcare field is constantly evolving, and continuing education is crucial. Our CNA resume template includes dedicated space for highlighting your ongoing training and professional development activities, demonstrating your commitment to staying current in patient care practices.

While perfect for current CNAs, this template is also designed to grow with your career. As you gain more experience or pursue advanced roles in healthcare, the flexible format allows for easy updates and additions.

Yes. All templates are built in Microsoft Word (.docx) and require the desktop version of Word for full functionality.

While other tools like Canva, Google Docs, or Apple Pages may seem convenient, they often break formatting, introduce ATS compatibility issues, and don’t display resumes correctly across devices and systems.

If you don’t have Word installed, it’s available for as little as $9/month, and is well worth the investment—it’s still the industry standard for resume writing and submission.

WHAT OUR TEMPLATE USERS SAY

Appearances matter, even with the written word, and how a document looks can make an immediate impact on the decision to read it or toss it aside. I train and mentor many excellent resume writers who have mastered the art of crafting highly effective resume content, but who lack the basic MS Word skills to create eye-catching, ATS compatible and uniquely branded documents. Distinctive Templates are the perfect solution for easily transforming well-written content into works of art that capture attention, generate interest, and motivate the recipient to read every word.

When I was starting out with resume writing a little over a year ago, one of the most intimidating aspects was visual design of resumes. I didn’t want to have to learn graphic design to stand out—and with these templates, I didn’t need to! I was a little hesitant at first because I thought the templates might be too rigid or generic. In actuality, they are incredibly flexible and easy to play around with. I can customize any template with my client’s favorite colors in just two clicks—which means they never look exactly the same, even if I use them for multiple clients. Using the templates means I can just do what I do best—write—and then plug the text right into the appropriate section. It saves me literal HOURS of work and hassle. One of the best parts about purchasing from Michelle is that she is extremely responsive to questions. There’s a private Facebook group where she records screen share tutorials about how to switch up certain elements in the templates, and she’s always been responsive to my emailed questions. My clients are completely thrilled with the unique, modern design of their resume, and I’m thrilled that I’m saving time and don’t have to learn graphic design!

I love Michelle’s resume templates! The designs are eye-catching and easy to use. I highly recommend these templates for anyone who finds that designing a creative, contemporary formatted resume is a challenge. They’re a huge time-saver.

I used the “Pivot” template to create a combination functional/chronological resume for my first big client. Her words when she saw the finished product: “THIS IS AMAZING!” I’m a writer, not a designer. My resumes aren’t unprofessional, but they needed a “wow” factor – and now they have it. Thank you, Michelle, for offering such affordably priced tools!

While I primarily write resumes from scratch for each of my clients, I have also used Michelle’s templates and received great feedback. I find the templates are especially helpful to organize my thinking for those clients who have an overabundance of important information that still must fit in an ATS-friendly, 2-page format without looking cluttered or disorganized.
