    If you are a new grad, you are doing the right thing to prepare your resume yourself. I know there are plenty of resume services out there but at that level there is no need to spend much $ on a resume. Just make sure to not only base your resume and cover letter on just one sample. Get a few of them and do your homework to know what are the latest resume trends in your field. Also, ask for free feedback about your resume before sending it - for this go to your school career center, to employment centers or use websites giving free advice
    such as http://www.ksa-writers.com/free-resume-help.html

    I just passed my NCLEX exam. Now that I have to write a resume and look for an RN job is hard. My problem is that I am currently working as a CNA in a hospital, but they won't hire me as an RN until I have a current resume. I also graduated 6 years ago. During those years I have tried and failed multiple times for my NCLEX. I just never gave up. Now how am I to write a resume when there is such a big gap in years from graduation to becoming an RN? Can anyone help.

    Totally unrelated, but I am a UD grad (which is where the sample resume/cover letter is from) and was very impressed by how much they prepared us for job hunting. Many of our assignments included writing our resume & cover letter. I have more samples that we were given in class if anyone wants me to scan them in.
