Resume Help

[jessica1980]

I'm currently a nursing student & I graduate this May. I am trying to put together a resume for the internships I'm applying for, but I have no idea what exactly to include. I have followed general formats for resumes, but since I will be a new graduate, all I have to list for relevant experience is the hospitals that I did my clinical hours at. I'm not sure if I should list my past jobs as they don't pertain to nursing at all. If anyone has any advice on what to do, or what I should include in my resume would really be appreciated. Thanks!

What jobs have you had? You will be able to pull transferrable skills from those jobs and include them in the descriptions. For instance, most hospitals are concerned about customer satisfaction, whatever they call it. Do you have customer service skills? Don't forget any volunteer work, committee work etc.

Did you organize people, places or things in your former jobs? (I have always seen similarities between waitresses and nurses because there is such a need to be able to organize and meet peoples needs in a fast paced environment)

Did you teach anything?

Delegate?

Communicate instructions? Directions?

Experienced with teamwork? I can be more specific if i know what jobs you have had but you get the idea?
