First resume, help with phrasing skills?

I have my first resume almost done. I have past experience even though I am a new grad. I have experience in the service in various areas, I was a medic and I have good phlebotomy skills. I also had a child who was disabled and cared for him extensively for 14 years - tube feedings etc...I think I should at least list these as skills....shouldnt I?

so I was thinking of having a little bullet point area that lists skills such as:

  • phlebotomy
  • enteral feeding experience
  • lactation counseling

any advice on the wording and the items? I took a course on lactation counseling and counseled for 3 years and was the group leader for 3 years for a support group and I still have an online support group. I am actually looking to get my IBLC and see if I can start a business out of my house on the side eventually. I would like to work with children and I have entereal feedings - ng, g, and j tubes, replaced the ng and g tubes, bipap, suctioning, nebulizer, medication and care of a child with cerebral palsey and many surgeries.

I think it is important to include the phlebotomy and the experience I do have but I am not sure how to include it.

thanks for your help!!

would anyone actually want to view my resume and give me any feedback? I have a really varied background. I dont want to include too much that isnt relevant. but I have worked and I have been a very good student and have been a good manager. I also have some clinical experience before being a nurse....?
