What do you have so far? For a new grad, the typical resume will include: School, Degree, Date of graduation, GPA (if it's good) and any distinguishing awards, groups, or activities. It also should include past work experience (even if not nursing related). Any additional licenses or certifications that you hold (BLS, CNA, etc) would be included. If you're applying to a facility where you have done clinical rotations and made a good impression, put that experience on your resume for those positions.
