Is there a public library near you? I suggest calling them and finding out when/if they hold free resume help. Often, you can just go in and a reference librarian will help you format and correct grammer.

Just some things I noticed. I'm sure they could point out more:

-For instance, it's MS Word or Microsoft® Word, Not "Ms Word"

-in one place you write " CPR and First Aid certified" but then in the other capitalize the Certified. Keep it consistent one way or the other

-On a bulleted list like your work experience, the first word of each line should match in "tense." You have "Demonstrated" and "Accelerated" and "Assisted" and then you move to "Blood draws". I suggest changing a line like that to "Drew blood" or "Performed blood draws."

Those are just examples that would greatly improve the grammer. You need someone to edit it with those kinds of things in mind.
