Resumes and prereqs

I am a nursing student graduating in May from an accelerated bsn program. I am trying to apply for RN residency programs. To apply for this program I need a resume and I do not have one related to nursing at all. So I am starting fresh, my only problem is that after I finished my first degree I took prereqs from a bunch of different schools. Do I need to list all of these schools in the academic section of my resume? If I were to do this it would easily take up half the page and I am trying to keep it to one page. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Trying to clear up confusion...are you trying to write a nursing-based resume? Your experience in nursing school counts as your nursing experience...I would list your clinical rotations. I would also list related skills, any academic honors/certifications (such as dean's list, even your BLS CPR certification!). If you work and it isn't a nursing job, you can still put it on your resume...for example, maybe you worked in a customer service position, and that's a lot nursing (our patients and their families are our customers) and when you interview you can talk about how those skills from that job will help or relate to a nursing position.

hope this helps and good luck!
