Quick Resume Question

llg, PhD, RN · Jul 29, 2003

As someone who reads resumes, I say, "Include all of it beyond high school." Because everyone with a college education graduated from high school, it is not necessary to put that on unless there was something very unique about it. If you are still in your early 20's, you might want to put something about high school if it shows exceptional talents, leadership, etc. However, most adults drop the high school stuff after they have graduated from college.

However, I would always include your education and any major accomplishments of adulthood -- which usually includes all college level education and experience.

I put down my college level education only. I looked at a few copies of sample resumes from my universities carreer services center and they give some nice formats to relate to when doing your own resume. Include any work experience related to nursing and any activies whether in school or out of school. Good luck!
