Where do pronouns go on a resume? By. Sarah K. Wells, MSN, RN, CEN, CNL A person’s pronouns can never be assumed. It is important to ask what pronouns people use when speaking to them at work. This can be difficult during job applications. Most online job application software do not have a space for pronouns, and pronouns are important. A resume can help fix that.

When we reflect on nursing, we don’t always consider the concept of justice. We may think about patients, patient care, medications, interventions, and hospitals, but justice might seem like the purview of lawyers, legislators, activists, human service agencies, and non-profit organizations. However, nursing and justice are more closely related than we think; thus, linking them in our consciousness is an important consideration.
