Nurses Career Support

Published

Hi all!

I'm currently at my very first job as an RN, and unfortunately like many new nurses I'm planning on leaving this one and going on to something I feel is more up my ally, especially since I have experience in it. (Moving from oncology bedside to psych [hopefully at the VA])

Since I don't have much experience I was hoping y'all could help me edit my updated resume. Should I add a skills list? Thanks in advance! :cat:

p.s. Sorry if the format came out funky.
