Graduate Nurse Resume Help

Published

Specializes in Clinical experience from school.

I am trying to write my resume and am having a bit of difficulty with it (I graduate in about 6 weeks - yea!). Anyone have any suggestions as to how to put in the experience you get from clinical? Everything I put comes out looking crummy.

Thanks,

TRBL

The truth is that this might be one of the most encountered problem with students about to graduate. Taking into account that you are still in school now, you can display your clinical experience both as part of your clinical education and as part of your clinical experience. Quite convenient.

Good luck!

As a part of our management class we had to submit a resume and cover letter to our instructor. She tweeked it, if needed and that is what I use. You might want to ask your instructor if she will look at what you have and see if it is ok.

A resume is only work experience, not clinical experience. If you worked as a tech you can include that, but you do not include school clinical experience on a resume. Clinical experience all falls under the heading of Education: ___ School of Nursing. Any employer automatically knows that you have a certain amount of clinical hours required for school.
