The professional growth of a nurse is characterized by progressive development of personal skills and knowledge. These skills are gained through classroom learning and practical experiences as the nurses learn and engage in various practice roles. When seeking career placement, nurses need to demonstrate that they have acquired the right skills for a particular job (Monteiro, 2018). Academic and professional accomplishments are present in curriculum vitae (CV). Generally, CVs provide a general overview of the applicant and what a person brings to the workplace in terms of potential (Woo et al., 2019). They are usually the first documents that employers use to screen candidates for job interviews. Personal information, education, work experience, skills, and competencies are major parts (Da Silva et al., 2020). A CV should be impressive and detailed with specific information.
I have developed a curriculum vitae to capture my academic and professional accomplishments to date.
The results of my efforts are below.

In conclusion, the information in people’s CV varies depending on the job position. However, a CV should describe a person and capabilities to give employers insight into what the person brings to the workplace. In nursing, employers examine whether the nurse can add value to the health care field. The education journey should be adequately summarized. Skills and accomplishments to date should be part of the priority areas too.
