Graduating in May- need help with resume

Nurses Career Support

Published

I am hoping that someone can give me some advice reqarding resume construction. I don't have work experience in nursing besides clinical rotations through school. Most of my peers are working as PCA's or home health aids and have an advantage. I don't even know where to begin. Please help.

There are lots of good resources for resume writing here, and a few good examples of resumes (including how to list your student clinical experiences)

Good luck!

I have a similar situation and I am going to look for some key words to use in our clinical explainations we got. I will probably invest the money to have everything gone over by a professional resume writer, one that has some certification. You might also use the "free" counseling available in every college for resumes. Ours is the transfer office but every school has a class, or a dept. that will help you. You can go to any bookstore and look at resume books and see if there are any particular to nursing and jot down some key words, phrases or points. I would do it while you are on winter break so you can have it ready and start visiting nursing recruiters before graduation to beat the rush! Good luck.
