 Hi guys so I want to talk about a little tip and resource for you guys to use when you're applying to a nursing position. I am going to be honest, applying for jobs stinks. It is stressful, it is complicated, and the part that I dread the most is when you have to send all of your documentation, your immunization records, your credentials, your license, all of these things to your new position. When you get a new job as a nurse, it is like a whole beast in itself. It's not like if you get a job as a cashier, where you get a job, you do a little orientation and you're on your own. As a nurse, you get a job, you have to do a background check, you have to do a drug test, you have to send your immunization records, you have to send all your credentials, your license, all of these documents, and it just gets complicated because you're trying to pull it from all these different spots. I know for me personally, when I got my first nursing job, I had to like call my pediatrician and get my immunization records for my pediatrician, and then I had to get my flu shot record from the Walgreens that I got my flu shot at. I volunteered at a hospital, so I had to get the records from there, and it just was time consuming, and to try and make sure that you had everything all together is just a lot. So I want to tell you about an awesome free app called Nurse Backpack that was designed to get rid of that hassle. Nurse Backpack is a free mobile app designed to help nursing students and nurses organize all of their credentials and licenses in one location. It's super easy to use. All you do is you take a photo of your license or your immunization records that's stored on a secure cloud-based server. You also can set reminders for expiration dates, which guys, I don't know if this has happened to you, but have you ever like needed to renew your ACLS by, let's say, May 31st, and you forget and come like May 15th. You're like, oh crap, I need to renew my ACLS. You log on and you're like, there's no classes within like 50 miles of me for the next two months. This app allows you to set up to two notifications to remind you to renew those licenses or certifications. Also, my favorite part of this app is the resume builder. I don't like doing resumes either. I just think it's so much work to sit down and try to make yourself sound professional, but not like too over the top and also trying to remember all your different credentials and things that you have as a nurse on your resume. It just it can get complicated. You can forget things. So Nurse Backpack allows you to create a resume through the app, which is super easy. And then you can export it as a PDF. You can automatically send it to whoever you're sending it to, whatever job or professional that you need to and boom, you're done. You've got your resume right there. I wish I would have had Nurse Backpack when I was applying to jobs through a nursing school. It's just it's easy. It's convenient. And I hope you guys check it out.
