conferences. Does related work as required.

principal duties and responsibilities including any nursing experience. Include the percent of work time you normally
devote to each. If you have held more
than one title with the same employer describe each title separately.
Applications may be supplemented by a
resume, but submission of a resume does not relieve a candidate of the
responsibility for completing all sections of the official application. To receive credit for experience on a job,
basic information such as your title, name and address of employer, title of
supervisor, hours in the work week, dates of employment (including month and
year), final salary, etc., must be shown.
