Please critique my resume

[silkysteph]

Hello! I would love your opinions of my resume. It looks much better aesthetically on word doc (for example, the "education, certification, awards" portion is organized into a box), but I am more interested in what you think of the content.

It's currently one page long, which I think is appropriate for a new grad nurse.

I agree, Carolina. The Air Force gave me a sample resume that's two pages, but a lot of the stuff Bayat mentioned is still relevent to me

OP - like the resume, must say! I would put your home health aide experience front.and.center. how many new grads leave school without even really knowing how to transfer patients or do an occupied bed change? uncool :) just a reminder to the hiring manager that you have clinical experience outside school. good luck! be willing to relocate - I had to.

Hello carolinapooh. I know this post was written a few years ago, but I am hoping you are still active on allnurses.com. I would love to get some feedback on a federal resume I am building on usajobs.gov. any critiques and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
