I need HELP! Texas Nurse residency program resume

Published

Hey Guys!

This is my first time writing here, and I need some help. I am currently updating my resume as I graduate from my BSN program in August, but I am a little stuck. I am an LPN-BSN student, and I am also applying to nurse residency programs in Texas (I currently live in Florida). One of the hospital's I'm thinking of applying to states to put my clinical rotations but the others just say "resume" ... should I just leave my clinical rotations for all? I also have 3 yrs of work experience as an LPN and I am thinking of adding it in, but currently my resume is a page & a half long. I will be writing out my resume, so if any of you have any feedback please please let me know!! Thank you so much!!!!

Everyone is looking for different things, but I was advised to take off job descriptions. They know what those healthcare positions do. My resume is just a quick 3 sentence intro, certs all in one line, clinical rotations with hours, previous jobs title/company/location/years, and some relevant volunteering. It's exactly 1 page. Had to cut off a few volunteering things and make certs 1 line instead of bullets. I've gotten 3 interview invites so far and 2 requests for recorded video responses for StaRN positions, so it seems to be acceptable. The actual application will have your job descriptions, acls expiration date, and all that. The resume is just a snapshot
