Any good resources to review my resume?

I'm an unofficial GN now (yay me!), and I'm starting to update my resume. I have a mixture of EMS experience, military & civilian clinical experience, plus my current position in IT (x6 years). I was wondering if anyone could point me towards a good resource to review my resume prior to sending it off to the recruiters.

Thanks folks.

Hi and congratulations! I would say the first place is to start at your school. Many schools have career centers that can help you with your resume and even mock interviews. I also found this link from UMich
http://www.nursing.umich.edu/student...mes/index.html and this one from LWW
http://www.lww.com/resources/student...rseresume.html

Hope this helps. Much success in your future endeavors!

Thanks for the input. I just finished up at Excelsior (waiting for the official docs). I'll poke around their site to see if they have any resources.

The links you guys provided all look to be pretty helpful. I'll be diggin into those right away!

I found this on Excelsior's website: https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_...s_and_Services and https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_...itique_Service

There's a link to a resume critique service but it costs a "nominal" fee...

And this link is all about nursing career stuff including a sample resume and cover letter for nursing
