ok first let me state that I read this forum all the time and want to thank everyone for all the help and tips, it saved my butt more than a few times :) I I am about to finish up LPN @ Louisiana Technicial collage (aka vo-tech), July 28th. We are haveing a career day/ job fair thing and we have to type up a resume for it. My teacher said not to put anything that doesnt pertain to nursing in it, but I have no other work or experience in the medical field. I was lucky enough not to have to work in the process of school. I am not sure on what to put on it. If anyone has any tips of specific info I need to add please let me know. I have to turn it in on the 10th.

Check out the top of the page, there is a link up above for Jobs/Resume's.

I don't have any medical-related experience either, but I'm trying to get a CNA job while finishing up my LPN. But I've been working on my resume and I was told to put other jobs on it because they can show that you have diverse skills. I'm meeting with my schools career services office on Friday to go over my resume. Does your school (or previous schools) offer anything like this?

I dont know if they have anything like that. I am going to put my other jobs on there after all. I do have alot of mgmt & leadership skill that would go unnoticed if I didn't. Do I need to include things on there like clinical sites or classes took? thank you in advance for the help
