Hon,

The resume lay-out for RN's is basically the same as any other job. If you want a concrete format, search some online.

Just a bit of advice though, don't forget to place references on your cv. It can be your clinical instructor, or other members of the academe who know you personally and could put in a good word for you. And while going at it, maybe you can ask them to give you recommendation letters. Most hospitals require one or two.

Good luck. :)

If you have microsoft office 2007 there is a templet for an RN in the resume section. That is the one that I used! and it worked like a charm!!:typing

There are tons online....I googled " RN resume". There are different formats as well. I would also ask the career office in your school. Usually they have a couple samples for you to get ideas. Also make sure you have a couple of people proof-read ! As I am working on mine, I always seem to find a new thing to fix or add. and I always think to myself: "How could I have missed that earlier??" So.... so make sure you review and then ask a couple of other classmates to review it. (or an Instructor). The only thing is that when I ask people to review mine, some say it looks too plain....others say to add stuff to it.....so I am just going for balance....not too much...not too plain....Good Luck !!!
