I cannot take a refresher course until the fall. I have been out clinically for 9 years. prior to that I worked in an OB/GYN office for 2 years. I am thinking of applying at a nursing home as an LPN and easing my way in. MY RN license is valid and always has been. I have not been "just a housewife" for 9 years. Far from it. I have so much to offer and yet I fear my applications are getting tossed. Here's a chopped-down (no descriptions) version of my resume; contact details eliminated. Critics, advice, please. BTW, I worked FT before college but it was in a bakery and non-relevant: EDUCATION/PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE 8/1993 - 8/1998 D'Youville College, Buffalo, NY B.S.
