Hello, I am just a few months away from graduation. I am looking for suggestions on how to improve my resume. Please offer any advice that may be helpful. This is my first time making a resume. I plan to call the hospitals and include their name instead of "Hiring Manager". Thanks in advance for your help. Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my interest in the "RN Nurse Residency Program Spring2018" position (#71348BR). I graduate in December 2017 and I anticipate passing the NCLEX in January 2018. My experience as a patient care tech has strengthened myinterest in emergency nursing. My career has taught me flexibility, leadership,and time- management- all of which will contribute to a successful career in nursing. After thorough research, I know the mission of your hospital resonates with my own values. I believe clinicalexcellence and reverence for others is essential in providing competentholistic care. It is my hope to become part of the team and to uphold the standards which are put in place. Also, I am confident I can bring a positive,compassionate, upbeat attitude to your unit. Thank you for considering my application for the nurse residency nursing program. I have attached my resume. Although, I would be happy to discuss my personal goals and plans for success in person, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone at ###-###-#### or email at abc@123. Thank you, Jane Doe

I am having trouble developing my critical thinking skills. Right now I am studying med-sure. The specific topic is stroke. Does anyone have good questions that would test my critical thinking on this subject? I study the book, the PowerPoint notes, and practice NCLEX questions. I spend slot of time studying, but my grades aren't as high as I would like. Also, it is still hard for me to take information from the book and apply it clinically. The point of the post is to think critically about the subject of stroke. I really want to be prepared for the exam! If anyone has any advice about what else I could do to help with "critical thinking" please let me know. Thanks in advance for picking my brain and helping me think critically!
