Applying for NP school- need advice

[scrubulator]

Im currently applying to Adult/Gero Acute Care NP school. In need of advice on what to include/not to for the application when it comes to submitting my resume...

1. Do I need a "objective" or "personal summary" section on my resume?
2. Should I include volunteer work (or just if its medical volunteer work)?
3. Write that I'm a BLS provider (or should that be automatically assumed)?
4. I have a year gap in my nursing (just wanted a break), should I explain that in my application?

Also, any other tips on what to do would help (like when I should contact the people writing me letters of recommendation). Thanks!

I have learned some bit about resumes over time. I would include relevant things to the program. If something applies, then include it. Obviously, your undergrad exp, clinical rotations, and experience as an RN should be included. Also, things that go too far back are usually left off. There are lots of guides and I'm sure templates on the internet for NP applications I'm sure.

Don't include volunteer stuff unless healthcare related, Include BLS, no need for a personal summary. Usually you do explain empty gaps.
