HELP!! RN to BSN admissions resume

Published

Help!!!!! I'm having an a panic attack and I don't even have anxiety. I have everything submitted to start October 2015 except my resume. I am totally freaking out because it has been years since I have had to write one. My mind goes numb every time my fingers hit the keyboard. Do I need a cover letter? I know this is standard for a job resume. However, my understanding is that this resume is just used to outline/verify work experience. How "good" does this resume need to be?

Just the basics. Really- don't overthink this. It's a small part of the admissions process.

Thank you very much for that tip. I also spoke with my enrollment counselor so I feel much better now.

Good luck. As meanmaryjean said, it's not a big deal. Just use a template and stick to the basics. No need for a cover letter. You'll do just fine.

The resume doesn't need to be good quality, just as long as you submit something. It's not as if the enrollment counselor is going to deny admission because you submitted a subpar resume.

Just submit a resume. It is not a graded assignment.
