New RN resume-keep nursing school information for how long?

Published

Hello! I've been a critical care RN for almost 9 months now. This is my first RN job. I am currently revising the resume I created right out of nursing school. My question is, at what point should all of my nursing school information be taken off my resume. For example, my clinical experience, volunteer experience, college leadership positions, volunteer experience, college achievements, etc. At what point is all of that not as important to a future employer? I am going to be applying to new jobs within the next few weeks as my husband is in the military and we will be moving. TIA.

Way back when I was a new grad, the advice I received was that once I had my first nursing job, the school stuff disappeared. Honestly, there are going to be very very few employers who care about that- what they care about is your nursing experience.
