Job Fair?

hi all

Just a question that hopefully someone can give me their opinion on... Im still in nursing school, graduating in June. Was wondering if its too early to attend a job fair or not?

What do you think? I thought maybe it would be good just to meet some people at least... Just curious

Thanks!

Yes, by all means, attend the job fair! Update your resume NOW to include your coursework and clinical experiences and skills accomplishments. Your desire to network is very good; you never know who you'll meet and what role he or she will play in your development as a professional nurse.

I am graduating in May and attended a career open house last month that was sponsored by a medical center near where I live. I was there for about 20 minutes, received business cards from at least 6 people responsible for interviewing and hiring nurses, and have an interview for my dream job at the dream facility next week. And graduation isn't for 7 months yet. Plus, we're (my classmates and I) receiving lots of inquiries as to our professional plans from other area facilities. It's a nice position to be in.

I hope you'll attend the job fair and post your thoughts and observations about it. Much good luck and success to you!

thanks so much for your words of encouragement!

now maybe you, or someone else, can help me with one other thing? HOW do i make a resume being as im only a student and have no other experience??

Do i include the courses I've taken? The clinical hours I've done?

I also have some volunteer work that was completed as a requirement for my nursing program. So I should include that too right?

I'm just not sure if I'll end up putting too much useless information or not enough information. Also, I already have one letter of recommendation from a Clinical Instructor.. but it's from last semester. Is it still good to keep that with my resume?

Ok well - thanks again for any help you give me... it is very much appreciated!!
