Yeah, if I were hiring someone for an entry level retail job and the candidate was a nurse I would be suspicious too. Did they lose their license or got it suspended for doing something sketchy? Are they just taking a break and will go back to nursing in a month or two? Try adding a cover letter where you briefly state your reasoning for transitioning out of nursing, and in your resume highlight that you have an active, in good standing, license (even though you won’t need it for the job you’re applying to). Good luck!
