Should I include a previous nursing school in my resume that I did not graduate from. Also if not how do I explain clinical experience, considering EC doenst have anthing other than the CPNE.. PLEASE HELP!!
Include the school you did not graduate from and be prepared with a great explanation of why you didn't complete that program and why it worked out so much better than you graduated from whatever EC/CPNE is. It is important to have a positive spin prepared NOW so you are ready with your answer when someone calls you for the pre-interview phone conversation.
Before I went to nursing school I took classes occasionally at a community college. No major - just whatever interested me when I had time available. I didn't graduate or even pursue a degree. I listed it on my resume but was told at a 'resume review' that I shouldn't have it on there. Just only graduated or currently enrolled.
I understand their point, but that makes it seem like I never took any college between high school and nursing school.

I would think, as a new RN, you can't really list any clinical experience in that capacity - list any previous experience you had though as well as previous licenses & skills.

I recently passed the NCLEX and am now trying to figure out how to prepart a resume. There was really no clinical experience with EC and I am not sure how I should word it.
Does anyone have any advise?
Thank you.
