I am unsure where to post this however I have a very long list of certifications/skills/continuing education/committes that I am on. If i went to a bunch of MNA (Massachusetts Nurses Association) classes should I list them on there? PLease let me know. Thanks for any help

I disagree. I think it shows initiative. If you are legitimately certified in something I would definitely list it under a "Certifications" heading at the bottom of your resume. I would not list a bunch of classes though. Take the opportunity to talk about them at your interview and say how you are so into continuing education. Good Luck!

PLEASE do not put, "ACLS", etc after your name. They do not hold the same distinction as a degree, a license or board certification. It looks pretentious.

I look for certain data in a resume and discard the rest.
