I have a question when doing a resume how do you explain the gaps of employment if you haven't worked since 2021 as a nurse? Recap I had a disciplinary action in one state that was resolved but it took 3 yrs when I was an LPN(24 yrs). I graduated with my ADN in 2020 passed the NCLEX 1st try in November of 2020. License was released in August of 2024, moved to a different state and received my new license in process took one month and received it today. Do I explain at an interview or fill it in?

I changed my resume and I said I was taking classes during those gaps, and I was also self- employed, or doing volunteer work at those times.
This worked well on my resume.

Change your resume to show years of experience and where. For example LPN 24 years, then lost your experiences RN 3 years and list your experiences.

Thank you so much!!

In your resume, keep it simple—mention you were resolving a licensing issue if necessary, but save the details for the interview. Focus on what you've achieved during that time (e.g., continued education or certifications). In the interview, briefly explain the gap, emphasizing that it's fully resolved and you’re ready to get back to work. Keep the conversation positive and focused on your qualifications!

Thank you so much!!

As long as you have current license, in good standing, just tell them if they ask you about the gap (you were taking care of personal business).

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
