Interesting and original. I would take out the paragraph in the college section as this info is already included elsewhere. It's assumed that you experienced different specialties in school as well. Also, I was going to say maybe leave out the restaurant experience, but that would leave a gap in employment. Maybe put it at the bottom to connect the CNA jobs better.

And yes, I used CNA as a generic term. I realize CNAs, PCTs and PCAs can have different roles.
