How to write a staff nurse CV

List your PNC registration and, for the Gulf, your DHA, HAAD/DOH, MOH, SCFHS or QCHP status (eligibility, Dataflow, passed).
Name your units and patient load: ICU, CCU, ER, OT, NICU, beds per shift.
Add BLS, ACLS or PALS with expiry dates — recruiters check them first.
Put personal details (nationality, date of birth, passport status) in a separate section as many Gulf employers require it.
