Advice on writing nursing school entrance resume?

Published

For the education section, do you think I should put down the name of the high school I went to? If so, should I include my GPA or just keep it simple? I wrote down the universities I have attended but am not sure if I should include the high school. :confused:

Thanks

I would not include high school. They are going to get your transcripts so don't put your GPA on there (this is really just an opinion thing).

Are you applying to a second degree BSN or an accelerated BSN program?

If so, and they don't ask for a high school transcript it wouldn't hurt you to add it, IMHO. If it's similar to your undergrad GPA, or shows improvement from high school to undergraduate, it can only help show your strength as a student.

My accelerated BSN program wanted a high school GPA/transcript, even though it's been almost 13 years. In some cases, it can be a reflection of the student you'll be. Don't worry if the high school GPA was low- if you improved in college, it can work in your favor (and don't worry- in my case, it went down from high school to college).

I am applying to acclerated BSN programs. Does anyone know somewhere I can go to get some help making my resume look really good? Do I include shadowing experience? I have shadowed some doctors, but not nurses. Do I include references?
