Hello, I am in my fourth semester of nursing school. Its actually only an associate's degree program. I am going to apply for the BSN program as soon as I'm done with this. I've actually been doing some research on how to start the process of applying for jobs. I have found some information indicating that people apply for RN positions prior to graduation. therefore I have a few questions: 1. How is it possible to apply for jobs prior to graduation? 2. What do I put on my resume other than the date of graduation, the intentions of me getting into a BSN program, my clinical hours and locations? 3. I plan on getting the ACLS, BLS, ekg and pharmacology, and PALS certification.what other certifications should I plan on getting in order to give me an edge in getting a job? 4. Is it possible to get these certifications prior to graduation? 5. It looks as though I won't be taking my NCLEX until late July or August. I will graduate in June with an ADN. when would be the optimal time to a start applying for jobs? 6. I have not volunteered yet. Is it necessary to volunteer? Does the fact that I have not volunteered hinder my possibilities of getting a job? I know I'm asking a lot, I'd just like to get some clarification from someone that's actually done it or knows of it. I'm usually really good at figuring things out on my own however I'm having trouble with this one. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
