I will be graduating in Dec 2009! I have been trying to type up my resume to start applying for jobs but i feel i am getting no where! I think because I have been working on if for so long and continually changing it I am getting way to detailed. Does anyone have any ideas or layouts that I should follow so I don't go way over board on my resume? The layout I am following is:
Objective
Education
Clinical Experience - I have listed the facility i went to, hours i completed, what floor i was on, and also a discription of what i did during that rotation.
Skills
Employment
Certifications
Affiliations
References
I would greaty appreciate any help since the jobs out there these days are slim to none:o! I keep siking myself out since I can't find any jobs here in the Philadelphia/Suburb area that is avaliable to graduate nurses which means I really need to sell myself not only in person but on paper!!!
Thanks for all of your help in advance!!

Here is a website with good information about nursing resumes:
http://www.bestsampleresume.com/nursing-resumes.html
It also has templates and samples that you can use to help you write your own.
tothepointeLVN - I'm unable to send a private message back to you. I would like to switch resumes to have another set of eyes look at it! If you want you can send me another private message with your email address and we can swap that way?
