what additional certifications would help me? graduating in may, working on resume,

I graduate this may with my associates in nursing, and I am starting on my resume. I am curious if there are certifications out there that could help boost my resume a little?

I have my healthcare provider cpr, and I am a certified medical assistant.

Are there any other certifications that take about a week or less that could help me?

TIA!

    Moved to nursing first job assistance to elicit further response.

    There are a few certifications that may or may not assist you such as ACLS and PALS but many facilities don't expect a new grad to have these certifications as most healthcare professionals do better in these classes once they have some exposure and experience working as a licensed professional. Plus, if required for the position many facilities will provide the training at no/low cost. (ACLS & PALS can coste a few hundred dollars).

    Nursing ceritifications such as certified OR nurse require a minimum of 2 years full time experience working as a registered nurse.

    Good luck.

    If you can get a job as a tech in a hospital, that will help you the most. Unless you work as a medical assistant already.
