Nurses Career Support

Just have a quick question about my resume. I have almost a year of experience now, and my resume still has clinical experiences I had in nursing school. If I want to apply to other hospitals, now that I have experience, can I just put the experience I have and just take out the clinical experience? Just wondering and sorry if this doesn't make sense. Getting ready for work and not fully awake yet! Thanks!

I would take most of your school stuff off your resume. Only leave those things that were "special" in some way that might help you get the job you seek. For example, if you did a special project or preceptorship in the field you are applying for, I would leave that.

Of course, you would also leave anything like honors, awards, scholarships, leadership stuff, etc. that you earned in school.
