A staff nurse CV format in Nepal starts with the one thing a hospital checks before anything else: your Nepal Nursing Council registration number. Put it under your name. After that, a matron wants to know which wards you have worked, on what shifts, and which procedures you can do alone. The example above follows that order, and it works for a PCL, B.Sc. or BNS nurse applying to a private hospital, a government post or a nursing job abroad.

What to notice in this one

  • The Nepal Nursing Council registration is at the top. Without it a hospital cannot proceed, whatever else the CV says.
  • It names the wards worked in and the shift pattern. “Hospital experience” does not tell a matron what she needs.
  • Procedures are listed plainly — IV cannulation, catheterisation, ECG — because those are the interview questions.

Staff nurse CV objective

Two to adapt — change the numbers and names to yours. A career objective, or summary, is the two or three lines under your name.

Registered staff nurse (NNC) with four years in general ward and emergency care at a 100-bed hospital. Confident with IV cannulation, triage and post-operative monitoring on rotating and night shifts. Looking for a staff nurse post in a hospital with an emergency or critical care unit.

For a fresher

Newly registered staff nurse (NNC) with PCL Nursing and clinical placements in medical, surgical, paediatric and maternity wards. Trained in BLS and ready to work rotating shifts. Looking for a first staff nurse post where I can build ward experience under good supervision.

Staff nurse CV for freshers

A newly registered nurse has more to list than it seems. Your clinical placements are experience: name each hospital, the wards you rotated through and roughly how many weeks. Put your NNC registration at the top as soon as you have it — if you are waiting for the licence exam result, write 'NNC licence exam passed, registration in process' only if that is true. Add BLS or any other training, and list the procedures you performed under supervision. A matron hiring a fresher is looking for safe basics and a willingness to do nights.

Two or three lines that give your registration, experience and the unit you want — for example: 'Registered staff nurse (NNC) with four years in general ward and emergency care, looking for a post in a hospital with a critical care unit.'

How do I write a staff nurse CV as a fresher?

List your clinical placements as experience, with the hospital, wards and duration. Put your registration or licence exam status at the top, add trainings like BLS, and list the procedures you performed under supervision.

Examples for other fields

Fresher — no work experience

Just finished studying, no job yet. The hardest CV to start, and the most common.

Biodata (बायोडाटा)

The बायोडाटा a local-level, government or cooperative office asks for — personal particulars first, written in Nepali.

Europass

The EU's CV format, asked for by name for study and work in Europe — labels on the left, CEFR language levels, date of birth and nationality.

IT and software

Developer, QA, support or sysadmin. The one field where a link is worth more than a paragraph.

Accountant

Accounts, audit and tax. A Nepali employer checks the software and the filing first.

Teacher

School and college teaching. The licence and the levels taught come before anything else.

Bank and finance

Bank, finance company and co-operative roles. Compliance counts more than sales figures.

Health assistant (HA)

Health post and PHC work. Council registration is the first thing checked, so it goes near the top.

Pharmacist

Retail or hospital pharmacy. Council registration and the drugs you have actually handled are what get read.

Medical lab technician

Pathology and diagnostic lab work. The tests you can run unsupervised are the whole CV.

Driver

Licence category, years without an accident, and the routes you know. Everything else is secondary.

Security guard

Service background, shift discipline and what you actually guarded. Written for agencies and for export employment.

Electrician

Trade level, the work you have wired, and the licence. Written for site work at home and abroad.

Hotel and hospitality

Front office, F&B or housekeeping. Star rating, cover counts and languages are what a hotel reads.

Office assistant

Computer operator and office assistant work — the most common office job in Nepal. Typing speed and Nepali keyboard are checked before anything else.

Receptionist

Front desk at a clinic, office or school. Manner, phone volume and calendar handling are the job.

Sales and distribution

Counter sales, route sales or distribution. Targets and territory are the whole CV.

NGO and INGO

INGO, NGO and project work. Donors, districts covered and beneficiary numbers are what a recruiter scans for.

Civil engineer

Site or design. NEC registration comes first, then the buildings you have actually stood on.

Marketing officer

Digital and on-ground. In Nepal that means Facebook first, and the numbers to prove it worked.

Doctor / medical officer

MBBS and medical officer roles. NMC registration first, then the departments and patient loads you have carried.

Dentist

BDS and clinic practice. Registration, the procedures you do unsupervised, and a patient count per day.

Physiotherapist

Hospital, rehab or sports physio. NHPC registration, caseload and the conditions you treat.

Medical representative

Pharma field sales. Doctors covered, pharmacies in the territory, and target achieved — the three numbers that matter.

Caregiver

Elderly and patient care, at home or abroad. Language level, care skills and the hours you have worked.

Customer service

Call centre, telecom and ISP support. Call volume, resolution and satisfaction scores are the whole job.

HR officer

Recruitment, payroll and labour compliance. Nepal's Labour Act and SSF are what separate an HR CV here from one copied from abroad.

Microfinance field officer

Centre meetings, loan disbursement and collection. Portfolio size and repayment rate are what a microfinance CV is judged on.

Graphic designer

Print, social and brand work. The portfolio link does the persuading; the CV says what you made and for whom.

Agriculture

Agriculture graduates and technicians. Field extension, the crops you know, and the programmes you have worked on.

Veterinary officer

Livestock and animal health. Council registration, the species you treat, and field programmes.

Welder / fabricator

Structural and pipe welding. Processes, positions and a skill-test level — what Gulf and local contractors test you on.

Auto mechanic

Two-wheeler, car or heavy vehicle repair. The vehicles you fix and the systems you diagnose.

Chef / cook

Hotel, restaurant and overseas kitchens. Station, cuisines and covers — the three things a head chef asks.

Housekeeping

Room attendant to housekeeping supervisor. Rooms per shift, standards and chemicals — for hotels here and abroad.

Trekking and tour guide

Licensed trekking and cultural guiding. Routes, altitude experience and the languages your groups speak.

Cabin crew

Air hostess and flight attendant. Safety training, languages and service — what an airline assessment day tests.

Journalist

Print, online and broadcast reporting. Beat, outlet and bylines — and links to the stories.

Lawyer / advocate

Litigation and advisory practice. Bar licence, courts appeared in, and the areas of law you actually practise.
