How are you planning on laying out your resume that you're looking to list specific skills? New grads have a basic set of skills a nurse recruiter or hiring manager should be able to assume you have. What you need to do in your resume is to show how you go above and beyond those. Do you have prior healthcare experience? Do you have skills or knowledge from prior jobs/careers that translate over to being an RN? What certifications or special experiences have you acquired on your way to becoming an RN?

Good points.

And please, please, please, do not list on an employment resume every single student skill you've ever learned. Like The Squire says, it is assumed you have the basic skill set, do don't put it in your resume.
