Resume Help

Looking for some guidance...

I worked in a previous unrelated field for 25 years.

I will be graduating from a 2 year Nursing program in May and I am in the process of putting together a resume.

My 25 years of experience led me to have a 2 page resume.

I know that's not a good thing but I had a lot of relevant experience that needed to be included then but not now.

My question is what should I include from my previous career?

Work history? 6 companies that span 25 years. Should I include dates and locations?

General previous career profile? Do I write it biographically? Should I include it at all?

The experience is not relevant to health care; advertising/printing/computer graphics, IT and internet experience.

The last 10 years or so was in managerial/supervisory roles with budgetary responsibilities.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
