Question about adding education on a resume

[ssalulu]

I'm writing my very first RN resume! I've completed a few programs and wanted to know what I should include on the education section of my resume.

I'm definitely including the following:

Bachelor's Degree in Business Management

Associate Degree in Nursing (FYI, I completed an LPN to RN bridge)

These are the one's I'm not sure about:

Associate Degree in Behavior Science (is this relevant to add since I am already listing another Associate?)

and

LPN Diploma (should this be included or not?)

I really appreciate any help anyone can give me as writing resumes are not my forte.

If you don't want to include a couple of your accomplishments on your resume? I'll take them off your hands...!

Taking a stab at this:

General format of an education entry is usually: (1st line) school, location, (2nd line) degree type [(in) subspeciality], year of graduation.

So:

Associate Degree in Behavior Science - was it with a different school or a dual program in the same school?

LPN Diploma - Was this earned in a school not listed above?

Yes, these were all different schools.

LOL.....I feel like adding them all might be a little too much. I mean, I could even add my medical assisting diploma and high school diploma if I wanted to get down to the nitty gritty. But, like I said, it might be a tiny bit too much.

It's customary to list all of your academic degrees on a resume -- but only those beyond high school. There are no laws prohibiting you from omitting some if you feel it would look bad. However, if asked to list all of your academic degrees (or all schools attended) on a job application, you would need to list them all -- and it would be really awkward if you had omitted something in your other communications with a prospective employer.

I'd list them all, but with only the briefest of citation -- degree, year, institution.

No way would I omit a diploma or a degree. But high school is the exception, since you can't go to nursing school without a diploma or GED.
