curriculum vitae

[shock-me-sane]

I am applying for a nursing externship this summer and one of the things I need is a curriculum vitae. I realize that this is like a life resume, but I am a bit clueless on how to make it look like I am incredibly awesome. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience doing one of these?

Edit: okay, I found out information about them and have a more specific question. I have most of my cool academic stuff related to my second major (psychology), do I leave that stuff out or does it help me look more diverse?

Include it. A vitae is supposed to be inclusive. Also, I wouldn't leave out anything that helps to present you in a positive light.
