Frequently asked questions

Is the registered nurse resume checker free?

Yes. Your first Recruiter Check is free, so you can see how your resume matches a specific nursing role before deciding whether you need more checks.

Does it check my resume against a specific job description?

Yes. Feedback is based on your resume and the job description together, so results are specific to the role you are applying for.

Will it invent certifications I don't have?

No. Feedback is based only on what's already in your resume — it never fabricates licenses or experience on your behalf.
