resume for school nurse position?

Published

Specializes in Level III cardiac/telemetry.

I'm applying for a school nurse position. Are there changes that should be made to my resume for this position when transitioning from hospital setting to school? What should I emphasize? Right now my resume is heavy on the clinical aspect. Advice appreciated!!!!!

If you have done ANY volunteer work at a school don't forget to add that! I developed and demonstrated a drug awareness program for pre-schoolers and kindergarteners that I did on a volunteer basis. I never imagined that one day it would actually be part of my resume! I did it for fun, but the teachers and principals knew me from it!

Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, coaching, any teaching even to adults and parent groups, any public presentations, volunteering first aid at sporting events, marathons, organizing groups, CPR and other certifications, PTA involvement, professional nursing memberships, your license number, recetn continuing ed that might be pertinent, disaster preparedness experience, committees you were on in hosptial that might be pertinent, any newsletter articles or other publications you have written.

What do these activities say, you like and can talk to kids, you like and can talk to adults, you are current and professional.
