Try googling sample graduate nurse resumes. Try to include clinical rotation sites, volunteer work, etc. Good luck! :)

I can respect the position you're in but you don't want to "pad" the resume with fluff that is insignificant or possibly untrue.

Your resume should be short, concise, direct and to the point. You will land jobs based on merits of having a BSN and your license. Lack of recent clinical experience will not be a deal breaker.

Honesty, integrity and a passion for nursing are more important in landing that job. Sell yourself... your interview skills will serve you best.

Good Luck!

Since it has been 4 years since you graduated, you may want to take a refresher course then the boards before you worry about getting a job. Once you get your license, you will be much more employable.
