Costumer satisfaction? You worked for a theater wardrobe department? :)

Oh, forget all that jargon. I know it looks good, but you know what? Hiring managers and HR departments know exactly what you learned, or ought to have learned, in nursing school, they know you have never worked as an RN, and they know you need to learn a lot more about your chosen profession. They have also seen all that brah-doo about core values and excellence in customer satisfaction and passion and stuff. None of that makes anyone stand out. Honest.

The laundry list of things you did as a CNA is fine, even though they know you did that too if you put employment as CNA from Date to Date at Facility on the resume. But really, forget the header about "instituting core values." Nobody cares.

What will make your resume stand out will be a clean, non-fussy, no colors or fancy fonts, brief outline with your school, degree, dates of attendance, any honors you achieved there, and a brief statement of your goal to grow in the role as an RN, with particular interest in (whatever specialty there is with an open position) (NOT "I plan to work for a year and then go to NP/CRNA school"). Don't bother telling them about the jobs you had in retail or at the coffee shop or the student union. You can mention them in your interview especially as they taught you how to manage multiple demands on your time and be pleasant to strangers.

Append a good clean cover letter with no misspellings and good grammar mentioning any honors again, names of two or three faculty who will vouch for your suitability, and a neat signature without smilie faces dotting the I's. (Don't laugh...oh, lord, I've seen those.) Your college placement office should be able to help you with all of this-- that's what they're paid for!
