Constructive criticism on my resume, please...?

I always get such great advice on allnurses, I would like to get some constructive criticism on my resume. Obviously I changed a few names to maintain my privacy, but the over all format is the same.

Is it a good length? Too much worthless info? I appreciate your feedback!!

i'd suggest a few things. your sentence fragments are fine (though you could cut the number down by half to have greater impact) but they should all match in form-- parallel construction is pleasing to the eye and cognitive parts :D. e.g.,

  • assertive and ethical
  • comfortable
  • skilled
  • confident
  • accomplished
  • consistently demonstrate ((not adjectives! does not match!))
  • familiar with
  • proven ability ((not adjectives! does not match!))

likewise:

  • assisted (verb)
  • responsible (adjective)
  • acted (verb)
  • certified (adjective)

and so forth c all the other sections

  • Author

That's great advice... Thank you!
