Resume-portfolio.. HELP D:

Do you have a writing center or a career center at your school? Usually many schools have career centers where you can go and learn about resume writing, job application help, interview tips and so on. But from the top of my head, you can google a template resume for new RN graduates. Every resume should have the basics: your contacts, the objective, education, and relevant experience. If you do not, include all the clinical sites you have been to. If you want to write a CV, you can include specific tasks you carried out on each rotation. Do not forget to include all the certificates that you possess. I hope it helps!

That does help, I know how to write and I have my old resume, (it's up to date) but I've only done my clinical for my CNA and I'm currently finishing my first clinical in my nursing school. So should I put those two on my resume?

Absolutely! For a new RN grad, I think any relevant healthcare experience is important to reflect on the resume!

There are a ton of resources available online specifically geared towards new nurses. Some of what you put on will depend on the job setting you are applying and the specific experience such as applying for CNA vs. RN. So if your applying to CNA jobs then clinicals help reference experience beyond work. If applying to RN jobs they still apply, But also every nursing student does clinical so those alone will not make you stand out in the crowd. Use all the resources available to you. Research as much as you can. I highly advise against using a template based on experience and knowledge from hiring managers. A resume is the first step in getting a job. If it's not up to par it's gonna end up in a giant pile on the desk of HR. And if it nevers gets past the desk then it leads nowhere. Good luck.
