Hello everyone,
I hope someone can critique my resume.
I don't have an RN experience except my nursing aide job while finishing my BSN,that was 10 years ago.I started a business with family but continue to find nursing job,with no luck,thus years passed by.
Can this be put as my work experience,even if it's not relevant to a nursing position I am going to apply? In my cover letter,it's the only nursing experience that I can describe too.
Here's how my resume will look.

You've forgotten to list your objectives.
As a graduate nurse, it is doubtful you are established in patient education. I would advise omitting this wording.
Provide the name of the electronic documentation systems you have worked with.
Provide your RN license number.
Provide the expiration dates of BLS/ACLS certificates.
Under work experience, provide brief details of your duties/responsibilities, who you reported to and who reported to you.
Under education, provide College Name, Degree Earned, Year Degree was granted.
Listing GPA's (if good) doesn't hurt.
