You need to dump the objective. You need to sell yourself. What can you do for them? Are you good when you work as part of a team? Are you good at critical thinking? Are you a quick learner? Are you willing to go the extra mile for your patients to give them comfort?
These are the qualities I look for in a nurse who is caring for MY loved ones. I know you listed them in your work experience, but the top of your resume is weak. They may have quit reading before they even got that far. It is okay to mention your strong points more than once.
The skills section is probably unnecessary.

Dump the objective and replace with 3 bullet points highlighting your 3 strongest assets.
Get rid of the "skills" part unless specifically asked. Managers and recruiters know what "skills" new grads have, and you can talk about it in the interview.
Where's your "Volunteering" section? We won't even look at resumes without it. Doesn't even have to be medically related.
