Hey guys,
So I have been applying to a few open ED nursing positions with no luck and i wanted to get some feedback on my resume. I'm a recent graduate from an associates program and i have some prior experience as a paramedic. Unfortunately, i feel like ER Nursing Managers would care less if i have experience as a medic or not. So i wanted to see what you guys think of my resume and see if there is anything i can improve on.
Thanks
