Need Advice on Resume

[nurse0817]

I graduated November 2011, have still not been hired, and would be so grateful for any tips/advice on my resume. I took an opportunity to volunteer as a nurse in Haiti and have been here for three months while still applying to Nursing Jobs in the US. The organization has now hired me in Communications, as their data asset manager, so I can make an income and continue to do what I love, NURSING! So I work 4 days a week and volunteer two 12 hour shifts at Haiti's critical care hospital. The reason I put "volunteer" under experience is because I am doing everything a paid RN would be doing.

Objective: should reflect the value you will bring to the organization.

Experience should be next.

Also check spacing and punctuation, also I know that may have gotten funky when you cut and pasted.

[KelRN215, BSN, RN]

Personally, I view objectives to be outdated on resumes. Everyone knows you're applying to a job because you want a job. Experience belongs first if you have true RN experience. Also, the most recent experience should be listed first so your current position belongs on top.

The spacing was the biggest thing that jumped out at me, but thay may have been a formatting issue when you pasted it here. If not, double check that in the original document.
