The rest isn't very catchy IMO, my resume is formatted just like that and I've had great luck. As a new grad they're very aware you've had clinical experience.. Don't hinder yourself by highlighting your're a new nurse. Showcase how much medical experience you have! You show the drive of bettering yourself... Taking appropriate time to maintain the work/life balance, before seeking work ;) See where I'm going? Lol. I'll edit my CV and post and example!
