But I know you may be thinking ↓

❌ I don’t have time right now to think about applying for jobs, I have to [ insert various nursing assignments, studying, clinical work and all other nursing related tasks here ]

❌ I have plenty of time before I need to start thinking about applying for jobs, I haven’t even graduated yet!

❌ How hard could it be to create a professional resume and compelling cover letter on my own?

❌ My professor or college career center will help me with this.

That sounds nice but….

Did You Know?

Did You Know?

  • On average, it takes most new grad nurses 3–6 months to land their first job… not start it, but actually receive an offer!

  • The majority of college career centers don’t provide resume or cover letter tools tailored specifically for nursing roles.

  • Many nursing programs have professors teaching “resume prep”, yet most have never worked in nurse hiring or recruitment , meaning their advice often misses what hiring managers are really looking for.

I can help you.

This course bridges that gap.

You’ll learn:

  • exactly what hiring teams are looking for

  • how to present your unique strengths,

  • how to apply strategically so you’re not wasting time or energy on trial and error

When I first started working with Caroline, I honestly felt like I was a defeated individual that was starting to lose motivation on my nursing journey. I had a resume and cover letter that felt like it did not accurately represent who I was and what all I have accomplished. Anyone I would reach out and ask about how my new nurse resume should look like gave me different answers. I felt like my resume & cover letter was one of the main reasons I did not gain traction for jobs.

Once I worked with Caroline for my resume and cover letter, I gained traction and was able to have multiple interviews. Most importantly, I had a resume and cover letter that displayed who I was which made me feel very proud. I have always believed that first impressions are everything. How does one possibly set a good first impression through a resume and cover letter? Caroline was able to help provide that!

Daniela’s Story…

- Daniela G

I learned a lot from this course, specially coming with no experience about building a resume/cover letter. I like how it is very new nurse-specific and all the different examples you give so it can relate to more than 1 person/situation. This course not only includes recordings explaining each part of the content but also templates to get us started.

Another thing I really loved is the workbook, it is very organized and have a space after every part that have to be completed so you don't have to worry about doing everything at once, instead, work on it little by little in the workbook and then put everything together in the template document. If you are a new graduate nurse, this is a perfect starting point because the course highlights everything that is important to get your career started even if you don't have experience in a hospital setting.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Noelia L.

Caroline was gracious enough to review my resume and give me detailed recommendations to improve it. I was really struggling because I graduated a couple of years ago and was nervous it would be a problem, but with her guidance, I received job offers for each of the 3 interviews I attended. She was also super nice throughout my job search and even took the time to answer my billion questions. I secured my first RN position at my dream hospital thanks to her help!! I highly recommend working with her; she is attentive and knows what she’s doing. This was an important time in my life, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to reassure and encourage me.

Thank you, Caroline!!

Lily S.

This course was excellent! I had many questions clarified, had aspects of a resume brought up that numerous professors failed to mention, and it was all presented in a very organized and thoughtful manner. Getting to see multiple concise and extremely well written examples of a cover letter was the most helpful aspect for me, although I learned so much from the course as a whole.

Have Questions?

I’ve Got Answers!

  • I know your schedule is packed! Between school, clinicals, and life, finding extra time can feel impossible.

    But that is exactly why Application Advantage was designed to be short, simple, and effective.

    The recorded educational material is just over an hour long, and each lesson is short, bite sized and focuses on one portion of your resume or cover letter. You can hit pause at the end of each lesson and immediately apply what you’ve learned before moving on to the next step.

    Most students complete the entire course and have ready-to-submit documents within 2–3 hours total and the confidence they gain lasts far beyond that.

    Think of it like a guided working session: focused, encouraging, and designed to save you hours of trial and error.

    By the end of the day, you’ll go from overwhelmed to ready to hit submit with confidence

  • Great question! Application Advantage is specifically designed to help new graduate nurses apply to new grad nurse residency positions.

    If you’ve already started your first nursing job but still meet the eligibility requirements for new grad positions which most hospitals define as having less than 6–12 months of nursing experience (but this varies so do your research!) then yes, this course is absolutely for you!

    You’ll be able to use the same strategies, templates, and tools to update your resume and cover letter so they reflect your growing experience while still aligning with new grad program criteria.

    If you’re still considered a new grad by hospital standards, this course will help you stand out and take that next step with confidence.

  • Absolutely!

    Application Advantage is a perfect fit for nursing students preparing to graduate and start applying for new grad nurse positions.

    In fact, the best time to take this course is right before your final semester of nursing school. Most hospitals post their new grad nurse residency positions several months before graduation, so getting your resume and cover letter ready early gives you a major advantage when those applications open.

    That said, since Application Advantage is short, focused, and incredibly effective, it’s also a great resource to take anytime, whether you’re still in school, just graduated, or about to start applying.

    You’ll learn how to structure your resume and cover letter, highlight your clinical and academic experiences, and apply strategically with confidence and clarity.

    → Don’t wait until graduation to start preparing for the job search, most hospitals post new grad nurse residency positions before graduation has even happened!

  • Yes! Application Advantage is completely self-paced, so you can move through the lessons whenever it fits your schedule.

    Each lesson is bite-sized and focused, making it easy to learn a key piece of the resume or cover letter process, then pause to immediately apply what you’ve learned before moving on.

    The Application Advantage Workbook is your perfect companion — helping you identify what personal details to include, organize your thoughts, and track your progress every step of the way.

    Go at your own pace, take breaks when you need to, and still finish with polished, ready-to-submit documents all without the overwhelm.

  • Nope! You can absolutely use your own template or format if you already have one you love.

    That said, the templates included in Application Advantage are the exact same ones I use with my one-on-one clients, and they’ve been proven to get results. They’re professionally designed, clean, and Applicant Tracking System (ATS)–friendly, which means they’re optimized to make it through digital filters and into the hands of hiring managers.

    As long as you follow the ATS-friendly formatting guidelines taught in the course, you can confidently use any layout you prefer. The goal is for your resume and cover letter to reflect the version of you that is polished, professional, and authentic.

    The templates are there to make your life easier and avoid ATS hiccups! Feel free to use whatever template/format you would like, just be sure it meets the ATS guidelines I provide in the course!

  • Application Advantage is specifically designed for new graduate nurses who are applying to new grad nurse residency programs.

    If you have more than one year of nursing experience and are no longer eligible for new grad positions, this course probably isn’t the best fit for you. The examples, templates, and strategies inside are tailored to nurses who are transitioning from student to professional practice.

    If you are unsure, send me a direct message below and I will help provide clarity!

    If you’re still considered a new grad then this course was made for you. If you’ve moved beyond that phase, you deserve tools built for where you’re headed next!

  • Yes — Application Advantage is based on my experience and expertise within the U.S. new grad nurse job market. The examples, resume formats, and hiring insights are all aligned with how hospitals and nurse residency programs in the United States recruit and hire new graduates.

    That said, many of the strategies, templates, and mindset shifts taught in this course are universally helpful for nursing students and new grads around the world. You’ll still gain valuable insight on how to communicate your skills, write clearly, and present yourself confidently, no matter where you’re applying.

    While this course was built for the U.S. job market, strong applications and confident storytelling translate everywhere.

  • I truly believe you’ll find Application Advantage valuable - it’s designed to make the job application process easier, faster, and more strategic for new grad nurses.

    That said, I understand that sometimes things just don’t align. Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis, and I ask that anyone seeking a refund schedule a quick call with me first. This allows me to understand your experience, learn what didn’t work for you, and determine the best next step, whether that’s a refund, extra support, or an alternative resource that better fits your needs.

    My goal is always to support you in your nursing journey even if that means finding a different way to help you get where you want to go!

  • You’ll have lifetime access to Application Advantage! 🙌

    That means you can revisit the lessons, templates, and workbook anytime you need — whether you’re applying for your first nursing job, refreshing your materials later, or mentoring another new nurse in the future.

    All course updates and improvements are automatically included, so you’ll always have access to the most current version and strategies.

    → Your nursing journey doesn’t stop at graduation and neither does your access to tools that help you grow!
