Resume critique pleaaasssse!!!

Published

Hi everyone! I recently joined the site, but I have been seeking some critical advice from this site for some time now. I come to you all because I am in need of some advice and critique about my resume. I am currently seeking a position for a nurse internship and I have minimal nursing experience, so creating a "pick me" resume has been tough. Should I include a skills section? more details? Please leave any advice below. I am open to all and any suggestions. Thanks!
